Miko Marks, 43, released her third album, “Our Country” in March. The virtual release party was free, and donations were encouraged to benefit The Center for Hope in Flint, Michigan where Marks grew up. Marks told ABC 7 News that “Our Country” was about “ . . . healing, social justice, prayer, system racism, marginalization, and it’s about hope to change.” It has been 14 years since her last album release. Her previous albums were “Freeway Bound” in 2005 and “It Feels Good” in 2007. Marks co-wrote six of the eight songs on “Our Country”. Her first country music memory growing up was of Loretta Lynn’s “Coal Miner’s Daughter”. She adds that Johnny Paycheck’s “Take This Job and Shove It” was her mother’s anthem.
