Nashville beckoned. Lindi Ortega answered the call. Armed with an irresistible singing voice The Independent hails as, 'a truly magnificent instrument,' and a heart bursting with creative ambition, the songstress whom American Songwriter calls 'the love child of Johnny Cash and Nancy Sinatra' decided to relocate to Nashville from Toronto to record her new album, Cigarettes & Truckstops.
A follow-up to her 2010 critically acclaimed alt-country masterpiece Little Red Boots, the 10-song Cigarettes & Truckstops flaunts Ortega's distinctive vision; one that embraces the oft neglected, politically incorrect realism of traditional country and frames it in a charmingly, sometimes darkly humorous context.
