Caitlin Cannon’s new single “Amarillo and Little Rock” premierEs on all streaming platforms March 31st.

Since the release of her critically acclaimed debut, The TrashCannon Album (2020) and the compelling Lucky Break (2021) from her duo-project Side Pony, Cannon has completed another full-length production, engineered and produced by Misa Arriaga (Kacey Musgraves, Willie Nelson.)

The song is a cathartic voyage from the Texas Panhandle to the deep south by car. A reflection on life’s experiences occurs when Cannon is pulled over by a state trooper who questions her sobriety. The paradox is revealed when she realizes breaking down is her path to self-actualization.

The production is as deep and swirling as the song’s meaning and features performances by Lillie Mae (Brent Cobb) and Eddy Dunlap (The Opry Band.) Cannon, who spent her early years in Alabama and young adulthood in NYC, has found her way to Nashville where she is lighting up the songwriting community. These days, she is leaning into her southern roots thematically without succumbing to derivative arrangements and sonic qualities.

Reaching for a new level of drama while embracing a reverberant lilt in instrumentation, the prolific songwriter has notably evolved since her last efforts and continues to ascend.

“My experiences recording at Music City Studio B this year have changed the way I think about music,” says Cannon. “I call it ‘Misa Wonka and the Music Factory’ because of the actual magic I’ve witnessed some great musicians inspire out of each other there. It’s never been more important to me to eliminate distractions, work hard, prioritize and focus. At the same time, I feel more about music the way I did when I was a kid. I know they are ‘mine’, but I just feel so lucky to have gotten to be a part of making these songs.”  

Several more ‘single’ tracks will follow throughout the year before a special release schedule commences to focus on the forthcoming album entitled The World’s Greatest Alchemist.

Caitlin Cannon’s new single “Somewhere Between Amarillo and Little Rock” hits the street on all streaming platforms on March 31st.

Since the release of her celebrated debut, The TrashCannon Album (2020) and the compelling 2021 release, Lucky Break, from Side Pony (her duo-project with singer Alice Wallace) Cannon has recorded another full-length production (thirteen songs) produced by Misa Arriaga (Kacey Musgraves, Willie Nelson). 

The lead-off track is a cathartic voyage from the Texas Panhandle to the deep south by car. A reflection on life’s experiences occurs when the driver is pulled over by a trooper who questions her sobriety. The great paradox is revealed when the driver realizes she had to get lost in order to find her way again.

The production is as deep and swirling as the song’s meaning. The track features performances by Lillie Mae on fiddle and BGV, Noah Bellamy and Adam Meisterhans on electric guitar, Eddy Dunlap on pedal steel, Misa Arriaga on bass and Hershel Van Dyke on drums.
