Acclaimed songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Rachel Baiman will release Common Nation of Sorrow - Baiman explores American capitalism and the devastation it manifests, while fnding hope in these stories as a mechanism for activism

Baiman produced and recorded the album in her hometown of Nashville. In some ways, this is a homecoming project for me, she says. I wanted to explore these songs based on who and where I am, with the people who have raised me musically.The album was recorded with GRAMMY winner Sean Sullivan and mixed by famed engineer Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket, First Aid Kit). Baiman has garnered a reputation for her specifc brand of political and personal lyricism, which Vices Noisey described as Flipping off authority one note at a time. This album is no exception, with Baiman pushing to new heights and delivering a heartbreaking, albeit beautiful, assessment of her country.
