"Singer-songwriter Lissie, like most of us, dealt with a fair share of personal turmoil during the pandemic, including nursing a heartbreak. The place she did it, however, was different - her very own farm in Iowa, accompanied mostly by her trusty pup - and the forced isolation allowed her to fully feel her pain, then begin to heal from it. She also started the process of writing a new album, which deals with, well, dealing with that pain (and bouncing back from it). Along the way, Carving Canyons became a joint effort with some of today's best songwriters".
