Listen: Matraca Berg - "Love's Truck Stop"

Thursday, October 4, 2012 at 3:21PM

Email this...

A new song from the gifted, Grammy-winning Nashville songwriter Matraca Berg -- she once wrote five #1 hits in one year -- is always a welcome event. After a fourteen-year wait for her last album, 2011's excellent The Dreaming Fields, we were somewhat taken aback to see that her new Love's Truck Stop is scheduled for an October 22 drop in the U.K. (where fine country-tinged songstresses like Berg and Gretchen Peters have a devoted following). Stay tuned for word of a U.S. release.

Matraca Berg - "Loves Truck Stop" (from the album Love's Truck Stop)
