LAINEY WILSON - Bell Bottoms Up - BBR Music Group
Upon the recent announcement of her 7 ACM Award nominations, and in celebration of National Bell Bottoms Day, Grammy, CMA and ACM Award-winning artist Lainey Wilson pays homage to her distinctive style and unbridled sass with the official studio release of the fan favorite, “Bell Bottoms Up.”
Written by Lainey and her band and recorded at the famed Abbey Road Studios, like “Country’s Cool Again” contained its signature bluesy country vibe, “Bell Bottoms Up” nostalgically twists that familiar style into a refreshing rock-n-roll aura that naturally injects any song recorded on this hallowed ground.
Never shy about her rebel rousing ways, Wilson offers descriptives of her confident personality as she flashes a wink toward the neon lit night that lies ahead, setting the attitude driven tone in each of the verses with lines such as “Well I'm about damn certain that I'm gonna put a hurtin' on this big ol' bottle of sin,” “I'm in an old school mood like a needle in a groove, It's a honky tonk time machine,” and “I'll put the peace sign away and let the bird out the cage if you think I give a what you think.”
As she rollicks her way to the chorus, she dares you to try and not get your boot heels clicking on the Friday night dance floor as she hip swivels her way through an irresistible rhythm.
“I'm a homegrown, roll your own, light it up life of the party
Yeah I'm a last call, wrecking ball, I'm tellin' y'all I'm just gettin' started
I'm fillin' up these jeans like I do my cup
Throwback, throw down, bell bottoms up”
Though most of these lyrics stay singular focused on Lainey and her ultra-endearing personality, the bridge offers an appreciative nod to those who stand by her rebellious side and match her wit for wit with the swagger to boot.
With an embedded blend of a 90’s country style, a classic rock-n-roll induced sound, and her signature bluesy country aura, “Bell Bottoms Up” is an addictive anchor that keeps the listeners intrigued with country music’s leading lady while offering a solid showing of her many different musical interludes within an ultra-fun romp that pays tribute to everything she is.
