Raised by socially conscious parents who often made Sunday attendance at the Ethical Humanist Society of Chicago an expectation, singer-songwriter Rachel Baiman has long been attuned to injustices. On her first album of solo songwriting, she speaks up via the title track about the ways in which “old white men” want to dictate how women inhabit their bodies: “You better look away, bow your head and pray/Cuz I won’t feel shame.” Elsewhere on the album, she gathers bluegrass and old-time music makers to instill vibrant string timbres—fiddles, mandolins, acoustic guitars—that bolster her lyrics about politics, traveling, and pining for someone who likely isn’t thinking about you. “I could only be further from you if the world wasn’t round,” she sings on “Thinkin’ on You.”
