Episode 261: She\\u2019s the hit Nashville songwriter who never moved to Nashville, staying instead in her hometown near Boston. She\\u2019s the power mom who wrote timeless country award winners like \\u201cGirl Crush\\u201d and \\u201cHumble and Kind\\u201d while raising five kids. Now she reflects on her own story more than ever before on her new album 1988. It\\u2019s the fourth in a row she\\u2019s made with producer Dave Cobb and a testament to the fact that while McKenna\\u2019s won three Grammy Awards, she\\u2019s the same humble and kind woman who got cajoled into playing at her first open mic back in the early 1990s.\\xa0
