JESSIE WILSON FT. CALEB LEE HUTCHINSON - Airstream Dreams - Independent Release

“Airstream Dreams is about freedom and simplicity. It's fantasizing over the simple life of adventure, travel and paving your own way as you go,” states Jessie Wilson about her highly anticipated single “Airstream Dreams.”

Following the release of her debut EP this past March, How ‘Bout We Find Out, which featured the standout track “That’s What Momma’s Are For,” the Alabama native immediately began turning heads with an ultra-fresh sound that combined pieces of folk, country, and singer-songwriter vibes into a branding that blazed her own trail underneath the umbrella of Americana.

Now teamed with season 16 American Idol runner-up Caleb Hutchinson, who is also the co-writer with her on “Airstream Dreams,” the pair of young talents deliver what is promising to be a breakout smash and a late addition to your year-end playlists.

The soft, campfire styled melody perfectly surrounds both distinctive vocalists and suits the essence of the lyric as they weave through a true duet that squares its focus on maturely discovering what the most important aspects of life are from a now perspective, contrary to what you may have believed prior.

Whether it be the need for a steady job, an old porch swing, or a diamond ring on the left hand of his high school flame as Hutchinson sings about on the opening verse, or three meals a day, two kids to raise, and a kitchen sink with a sunshine reflecting window view as Wilson adds, the emotional tilts that each gifted vocalists carries within their waver offers an aura that foreshadows that they now know there’s more to life and the feeling of being completely free within it as they strike the optimistic chorus:

“Yeah, they say moving's the closest thing to being free

I think we’re proving that happiness is sometimes cheap

A couple tanks of gas, passenger seat with no vacancy

I’m right where I want to be just you and me

And airstream dreams”

Craftily pulling from that sentiment, the second verse begins to unfold the Rand McNally on the back of Hutchinson’s line “we only feel at home when we’re rolling on some old backroad,” as Wilson then paints a carefree travel log when she states that anywhere they are together is the perfect place to be, from red dirt to red clay, Kentucky to the western plains.

With the Americana tag best suiting the blended styles within the overall feel of this song, the true duet pulls in plenty of intriguing, traditional country flare to not only satisfy the thought-provoking lyrics and perfect usage of the individually within each their respective voices, but it also strikes the right chord with the country loving listeners who are clamoring for a little more steel guitar and little less pop backbeat.
