Lainey Wilson ‘Whirlwind Deluxe’ – Album Review
Lainey Wilson’s new album, Whirlwind Deluxe is out now, August 22nd on all streaming platforms. Take a listen and read our full review below.
About year to the date of its initial release, Lainey Wilson is taking fans back into her incredible project, Whirlwind. In an expanded version that she is calling, Whirlwind Deluxe, Wilson reminds fans exactly what the project was such a huge success. The new record features five additional tracks, including, “Bell Bottoms Up” and “Somewhere Over Laredo.”
With one of the genre’s most unique voices and standout styles, Lainey Wilson has been a tornado through the boys club that is often the hierarchy of country music. She continues to rise through the ashes and take the country world by storm. This evident on all five new tracks off the deluxe record.
Beginning with “Somewhere Over Laredo,” the song captures the stories that are rooted in reflection, nostalgia, and a new perspective. According to Wilson, “I’ve always been inspired by putting myself into other peoples’ shoes and telling stories from others’ perspective, but I’ve found a new creative avenue with this one putting myself back into a pair of shoes that I wore years ago.”
On the other hand, “King Ranch, King George, King James” leans on Wilson’s traditional country roots. The song feels like it could have been cut straight out of the 90s in the best possible way. Similarly on “Yesterday, All Day, Every Day” Wilson brings the old-school country energy. On the more upbeat track, Wilson shines. Of course, no Lainey Wilson album is complete with a honky-honk classic. “Bell Bottoms Up” is that song. A true line-dancing jam, “Bell Bottoms Up” is an anthem for fun and country music.
Finally, Wilson closed out the record with “Peace, Love, and Cowboys.” The song is an outcry for more peace and camaraderie in the world. A truly beautiful and inspiring way to end the record, Wilson proves that her legacy is a permeant fixture in the genre. She put it perfectly, “I’m finding out the ‘Whirlwind never stops. The more I walk through it, the more my feet stay planted on the ground and my eyes to the sky.” The deluxe album is the perfect next stop on her journey!
