Rachel Baiman: “Bad Debt”

Tracks
Written By Michael Gutierrez

The Nashville-based, Chicago-transplant Rachel Baiman brings a twist to familiar country flavors. Our highlighted track “Bad Debt” mixes the economic with the emotional to produce a stew that is characteristically 21-st century. Powerfully-resonating fiddle work gives the song its spiritual lift when and where it needs it most. Stream, share, buy to your heart’s content.
