To describe the musical texture and sound of Lori, imagine blending the sincerity of Nanci Griffith, the heart of Lucinda Williams, and the raw power of Patty Griffin or Sinead O'Connor. The Boston Globe writes, "more than any young songwriter on the scene today, her work carries that stirring blend of stark intimacy and universality that marks folk form at its finest. She brings embracing, real-life aesthetic to her emotionally searing love songs."
