For their third and final—for now—installation of The Songwriter Tapes, decorated songwriters Luke Laird, Lori McKenna, and Barry Dean are yet again demonstrating the timelessness of a great song. Each volume of The Songwriter Tapes includes brand new recordings of three songs that even part-time country music fans will be familiar with, if not already fans of, and one tune that has yet to see the light of day. Choosing the four songs for each of the songwriters to sing was a collaborative process. And while it may have been difficult to narrow it down to 12 tracks after more than 65 collective years in country music, the result is a timeless anthology of career-defining songs from as far back as 2004 and as recent as 2020.
