Jess Williamson – “Tracking The Tropics”

Jess Williamson, the country-folk artist, has released a new album titled A Mile South Of Heaven, accompanied by the emotional single Goodbye To All That. Now, she has returned with another delightful track called Tracking The Tropics. In an interview, Williamson revealed that she penned this song during a period when her confidence had significantly diminished.

She shared that she simply wanted to get behind the wheel, drive as far away as possible, and return to a beloved honky-tonk bar in East Austin, known as The White Horse, where she spent countless weekends with friends during her twenties. The track is a poignant ode to the desire to escape, the longing for a simpler time, and the yearning for the people and places that truly understand and accept us.

The music video for Tracking The Tropics, directed by Jackie Lee Young using Super 8, is available for viewing below. A Mile South Of Heaven is set to be released on October 9th via New West.
