Man, what a song. Ridiculously catchy and most effectively it’s all delivered with an effortless and breezy, light-headed and heavy-hearted, sway and swagger. Like The Lemonheads and The Jayhawks – that nexus of sweet Americana and power-pop. Just a perfect country-rock, guitar pop nugget.

Russel Taine Jr. is a band from Austin, TX comprised of Aaron Winston (vocals/guitar), Justin Winslow (bass), Cory Fica (drums) and Brittany Long (keys). They released their debut EP American Dream last year and both ‘Blue Jean Baby’ and the previous, equally fine single ‘Sister Sister‘ will feature on their forthcoming new EP Tales.

“Hot summer nights. Brick weed & mezcal. July 4th fireworks — and a dance and a drink down at the White Horse. This is a love song for a Texas summer without COVID.”
