Lainey Wilson‘s new single, “Somewhere Over Laredo,” creatively references Judy Garland’s iconic song, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” just with a modernized, countrified touch on The Wizard of Oz classic. Wilson co-wrote the track with Andy Albert, Trannie Anderson, and Dallas Wilson, with the original composers of Dorothy’s tender anthem, Harold Arlen and E.Y. “Yip” Harburg, also credited as co-writers. “‘Laredo’ isn’t just a place — it is a feeling,” Lainey explains. “It speaks to anyone who has ever looked back or remembered something and let that memory shape who they are. It also connects to all of those [small American] towns and people who are just trying to find their way home.” The tune will be one of five new songs featured on the deluxe version of Wilson’s recent album, Whirlwind, which is due out August 22. Broken Bow released “Laredo” to radio via PlayMPE on May 22, and the track is already at No. 24 on the current Country Airplay chart. (Billboard)
