In many ways, Shame, the new album from 27-year-old Nashville Americana songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Rachel Baiman is an exploration of growing up female in America.

Musically inspired in equal parts by John Hartford and Courtney Barnett, Baiman's influences are myriad, however years spent playing traditional music shine through in the albums firmly rooted sound.
