The thing that stands out about Maren Morris — besides being a great singer and a big time country star — is her songwriting. What I've noticed about the songs she writes on her new album, Humble Quest, is that they're often about finding peace and strength amid a lot of turmoil. I was curious about that, so we talked about her journey as a songwriter, crossing over to pop with that huge song with Zedd, and our shared love of Kathleen Edwards. Plus, TQI producer Kaitlyn dropped by with listener mail about tourism in Newfoundland, so I gave my top things to do when you go there.
