The project collects songs he\u2019s released over the past few years, as well as new tracks, including songs of romance (\u201cTomorrow, Tonight\u201d), heartbreak (the beautifully crafted \u201cI Can\u2019t Go Down that Road\u201d) and nights of hazy escapes from life\u2019s pressures (the dance-fueled \u201cHigh Hopes\u201d). <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBut Housman also turns his affinity for tightly turned lyrical phrases to songs such as \u201cDrag Queen,\u201d about a drag queen who is \u201cnever a drag,\u201d and the title track, where he sings, \u201cI think y\u2019all means all and I know we all just want to know that we belong.\u201d \u201cBible Belt\u201d centers around reflections of (and healing from) religious trauma and rejection; the song\u2019s uptempo feel and ultimate hope for acceptance and respect turn the song into a rallying cry. Centering the entire project is Housman\u2019s twangy, versatile vocal and a range of songs that truly offer a country music album that is inclusive and universal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Georgia Webster, \u201cTown Talks\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/teCxAryOFno?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOn her third EP, <em>Signs<\/em>, Webster dissects the emotional nuances of coping with\u2013then exiting\u2013a noncommittal relationship.

Throughout, Bentley\u2019s harmonies offer an earthy counterpoint to Keith-Hynes\u2019 airy vocal. Bentley, of course, has long shown his affinity for bluegrass, including his 2010 bluegrass-infused project <em>Up on the Ridge<\/em> and stretching back to his first album, which featured a collaboration with The Del McCoury Band. The two are aided by musical luminaries including Bryan Sutton (guitar), Wes Corbett (banjo), Jerry Douglas (reso-guitar), Jeff Picker (bass) and Sam Bush (mandolin). <font color=\"#535252\" face=\"Lato, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px\"><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/country\/must-hear-new-country-songs-chris-housman-georgia-webster-1235698930\/\">Aller \u00e0 la source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week\u2019s crop of new country music includes Chris Housman\u2019s debut album and Georgia Webster\u2019s latest, while Bronwyn Keith-Hynes teams with Dierks Bentley for a bluegrass spin on a Jimmy Buffett hit.
