Americana UK is featuring Linda Draper’s latest single "'81 Camaro" today! The song feels like a straight-ahead country number, but Jonathan Aird touches on the candid lyrics. He notes that Linda "is not a puller of punches... she calls out some suspect thinking, with just a little touch of the old country sarcasm: ‘You say money can’t buy happiness / Well then give away your money and tell me how it feels to be free / Are you happy now?'

I love that lyric, too. Linda's a master at this kind of subtle, but emotionally startling, writing. Find the song, video, and a fun acoustic performance here.
