"The song 'Tin Star' speaks to the plight of the struggling musician," explains country songstress Lindi Ortega, sporting her signature red lips and red boots. "To those who are so driven by their passion that they soldier on, despite the odds being against them." Tin Star, the brand new album of the same name from the Toronto born, Nashville dwelling singer-songwriter, is incredibly close to Ortega's heart and is influenced strongly by life in her adopted ?music city' home. Produced by Grammy award-nominated producer Dave Cobb (Jamey Johnson, Secret Sisters, Shooter Jennings), the album builds on the success of Ortega's previous two critically acclaimed works, 2011's JUNO Award-nominated Little Red Boots and last year's Polaris Music Prize long listed Cigarettes & Truckstops. It further flaunts the distinct voice and skilled songwriting that the singer has come to be known for and showcases the unique double edged sound that she has defined. Several songs on the album touch on the classics of country music. Loneliness, unrequited love, crumbling relationships and primal desire pepper Tin Star and give Ortega a chance to let her contemporary twist on traditional country shine through.
