Nashville mainstay Erin Rae is often described as Music City's best kept secret, but for many Americana fans the secret has been out for a while now -- and with good reason. On June 8, the ethereal singer will release Putting On Airs on John Paul White's Single Lock Records.
Last month the Jackson, Tenn. native released the gorgeously aching "Can't Cut Loose." Now Rae is sharing the album's title track, a sorrowful, difficult conversation wrapped up in a lilting and dreamy four minute song.
"Guilt high in my neck, I shouldn't have done you wrong," Rae sings. "You came to me sweet, honey, someone who cares/ I was putting on airs."
"Putting On Airs" perfectly showcases Rae's Laurel Canyon folk-meets-country voice and the steadfast honesty of her lyrics.
