Video Premiere

I'm excited about the way Linda Draper manages to infuse this easy-breezy country number, “’81 Camaro,” with candid, emotional ambiguity, a trademark traceable to her anti-folk roots. It's the trick of a master and Linda brings the same energy to the video (featuring authentic country line-dancing filmed at Cowboys in Orlando). She tells us, “I have never had more fun making a music video. We shot it in Orlando, partially at Fun Spot amusement park, checking out the coolest classic car show in town, playing games in the arcade, going on rides, and drinking beer.”

Americana Highways has the video premiere and writes that the song carries “feelings of longing, in a delightfully blended brew." The site has also featured the track on its new "New Americana" Spotify playlist, a veritable treasure trove of great new songs. I love when artists discover kindred spirits this way, as Linda did this weekend when she discovered Julian Taylor’s tune "It's Not Enough" and promptly knocked out a TikTok cover. Julian says, “I’ve never had anyone on TikTok sing along with one songs. Thank you Linda. You made my day :-)” If you’re on TikTok, why not give Linda a follow?
