    Lori McKenna is a national treasure. There are very few songwriters that write songs so pure, heartfelt and honest these days.

    Great song! If only more people followed Loris principles the World would be a much better place. Instead, it's a shambles I'm afraid to say. Too much greed, too many drugs, too much violence and machismo. Not enough love. Lori you are a shining light keep it up!! ❤❤

    I cannot believe that I have never heard of Lori McKenna until now. What INCREDIBLE talent! I am so glad I have discovered her music. She is now one of my favourites! I think this is the most beautifully-written and beautifully-sung song in the world! I wish all would live by these words: the world would be a much better place.

    I was about to comment about no credits to Tim McGraw and then I did a little research and discovered she wrote the dang song! I love finding original artists, especially with a song as good as this one. I'm doing my best to live by it every day.

      She is an original singer songwriter from south of Boston and her first 4 CD were played on the college radio which broadcast quite far range on mass coast , so she was already playing at 28 with her first 3 young boys all over the city and Cambridge and Somerville and other small towns she had a big following, had to call quickly by 2002 to get tickets or sold out ; they found her - she helped them, they helped her . In the last 5 years her albums are more like herself only she has often done the humble and kind thing and brought on co-writers and given lots of credit to them . Like faith and Tim did to her . Her mom died when she was young and he raised her and her five siblings, she’s always been an amazing singer songwriter; they helped her provide for her family that’s all - she’s still humble and kind .

    Two years ago a re-found friend told me about this song and told me it made her think of me every time she heard it.
    It was a very tough time as we were watching another old friend's life come to a close, much too soon. She said that the things she saw me do to help him and his family just exemplified that what the song means and how I have always approached life.
    Those words she shared and the lyrics of this song have been a touchstone for me ever since.
    I truly try to meet the expectations such sentiment expresses and hope that by example I can inspire others to show humility and kindness as they travel life's roadways.
    I replay frequently to help me be aware to stay humble and share kindness with others, because we never know what they may be struggling with.
    Life can be hard. Life can be mean. If we can do something, big or small to make it easier for others I believe we should try.
    To my friend who shared this and told me that this song reminds they of how I live, I will always be grateful that took the time to express your thoughts and I hope that I will always be man enough to live up to the message it expresses.
    Remember to always stay humble and kind.

    I have been the ‘tech’ guy for northern New York church producing a simple single camera record of a church service for more than 20 years. While working on the July 19th service Lori McKenna, Jim (on keys) and Pat (on guitar) surprised me with your wonderful song ‘Humble and Kind’. It became an instant top 10 favorite. At possibly 1000 services I have recorded (I’m over 60) since 1997, an instant top 10 does not happen ever day. My compliments.
    I have to guess God smiles as the song takes the ‘key under the mat’ and gives a solid rewind turn to this ‘in your face’ morality (lacking) starved society direction. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. rtk

    "Humble and Kind" is a song written by Lori McKenna and first released by American singer Tim McGraw on January 20, 2016, as the second single from his 14th studio album, 'Damn Country Music'.
    McKenna later recorded her rendition of the song for her eighth studio album, 'The Bird and the Rifle', released in July 2016.
    In 2017 Lori won Best Country Song at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards for "Humble and Kind", performed by Tim McGraw.

    Amazing. This is such a perfect fusion of subtle, eloquent videography and pure, beautiful music. Lori McKenna is an extraordinary talent in both her song writing and her performance.

    I just learned you wrote this Lori... 4 years after it was released by TM. Thank you for this very heartfelt resonating message and music

    This is truly a song for its time, yet one that will remain timeless. Good to hear Leo perform it. She is just magnificent.

    I didn’t realize you wrote this song but holy crap I love your version so much more. It’s songs/recordings like this that I love the most. They’re raw and real. Straight to heart without bells and whistles. I hope one day I can write something as amazing as this song is! 😊 thanks for being an inspiration

    Lucky enough to live only a few towns over and caught on to her talents early. Best wishes on all the success she so rightly deserves!
