BIG LOUD TEXAS SINGER-SONGWRITER JULIANNA RANKIN KNOWS WHAT “DUSTY BOOTS” ARE MADE FOR
“THE LONE STAR RISING STAR” – COWBOYS & INDIANS
NASHVILLE, TENN. / AUSTIN, TEXAS – Today, Big Loud Texas singer-songwriter Julianna Rankinshowcases her standout vocals on “Dusty Boots,” out now. Called “The Lone Star rising star” by Cowboys & Indians, Rankin continues to chart her musical path with smoldering new songs like recent “Little Miss Behavin’,” with an unforgettable official music video starring Gretchen Wilson.
“’Dusty Boots’ is one of those songs I’ve been anxiously waiting for people to hear,” shares Rankin. “It captures so much of where I come from — not only my Texas roots, but the music and moments that made me fall in love with country music in the first place. It’s a two-stepper that transports me to all my favorite places: dancing under a painted sunset, a night at Gruene Hall and the kind of memories you wish you could live twice. I hope it does the same for everyone who listens.”
Rankin wrote “Dusty Boots” alongside Jon Decious, Steph Jones, Josh Kear and Aaron Raitiere. In this steel-soaked honky-tonk song, Rankin sings:
Dusty boots and barroom floors
Red dirt roots, four-by-fours
Truck stops and diesel, Willie and Waylon
Cornbread and cast iron
If you know what I’m sayin’
Honky-tonks and heavy pours
So crank up the band, and then crank it some more
Let’s get to dancing, ’cause that’s what they made ’em for
About her most recent release, “XYZ71s,” All Country News praised Rankin’s artistry, “she’s driving her own story, and she’s not checking the rearview for permission.” Kicking things off with a bang, her label debut “Bad Habits and Good Horses” was featured in the season finale of Landman via Paramount+ earlier this year.
This summer, Rankin will support Casey Donahew, Neal McCoy and Mark Chesnutt on select dates. In September, Julianna will play at Everybody’s Somebody Festival with headliners Hayes Carll & The Band of Heathens. Stay up to date with Julianna Rankin here.
