Grief is one of those things where there’s really no one way to express it, and those expressions vary greatly from person to person. After losing her father Robert in 2017, singer-songwriter Rachael Kilgour was processing the loss and wrote a song about her late father. She then decided to write an entire album of songs as she reflected more deeply on his life. The result is "My Father Loved Me," a collection of nine songs released in September 2023.
Rachael Kilgour visited The Current studio for a session hosted by Radio Heartland’s Mike Pengra. Kilgour plays songs from the album, and she talks to Mike about how the album came together - including her decisions to honor her father’s memory by recording the album in his home country of Canada, and to have Canadian musician Rose Cousins produce the album. And while the album is called "My Father Loved Me," it’s clear Rachael loved her father right back. Watch the interview above.
