Listen to Cowboy Boots With Fishnet Tights
The first LP from the roots, Americana outfit fronted by Kate Coleman’s inviting vocals and often autobiographical stories, the 13 tracks here from Run Katie Run explore and rock and folk ideas, too.
“Better Take Me With You” gets the listen off to an energetic start, where the warm duet welcomes thumping drums, frisky banjo and swift melodies, and “I’ve Been Called Worse” follows with plenty of soulful swagger amid the calm versus busy moments of animated country rock.
The intimate “This Is All Your Fault” lands in the middle and showcases Kate’s expressive voice alongside a booming chorus, while the acoustic guitar fueled “The Middle” resides in poetic territory with its stirring vision and cautious demeanor.
Near to the end, the mature piano of “Make You Love Me” is just the cozy keys and Kate’s powerful voice, and the multi-faceted “Probably Won’t” exits with bluesy fun, bluegrass nods and timeless rock sensibilities.
An album with a healthy amount of twang, lively roots-rock and sublime introspection, Kate is joined by Adam Pendlington (guitar, banjo), Ian Pendlington (drums), Corey Coleman (vocals, guitar, strings, keys), Stephen Quinn (bass, vocals) and guest spots from Addie Levy (mandolin) and Sarah Cammisano (fiddle) for this very unique and exciting version of Americana.
Travels well with: Katie Callahan- The Water Comes Back; Rachel McIntyre Smith- Glory Daze
