Erin Rae needs three things for her songwriting process: a hardwood floor, a phone on airplane mode, and glowiness.Rae typically gets compared to 70s singer/songwriters like Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne. It seems like every review has the obligatory "Laurel Canyon" reference. But heck: these are just good songs, period. No comparison needed.Erin Rae's latest album Lighten Up is out now on Thirty Tigers Records.
