Kaitlin Butts, who is bringing Red Dirt country music to the mainstream, has announced her new album 'Roadrunner!'.
IS SITTING IN an East Nashville coffee shop, wondering if she should tell Vince Gill that “Come Rest Your Head on My Pillow,” their romantic duet from her new album,“It had ‘cowboy pillows’ written across her chest,” she says, laughing quietly and pulling her cow-print jacket up to her face like a privacy screen.
Dierks Bentley, with whom Butts is touring this summer, agrees. “When I first started out, I spent a lot of time touring with artists in the Red Dirt scene,” Bentley says. “They have a spirit and passion for authentic storytelling that rivals anyone out there. I’m really drawn to those artists and Kaitlin fits right in. I love her voice, and her lyrics are just raw and honest. She adds a little extra dash of Oklahoma honky-tonk.
Though the scene wasn’t exactly hospitable to women, she did find kinship in the close-knit community that remains to this day. Recently, Cordero and Butts hosted rising Red Dirt starsome shows to look out for his mental health. She sent him a care package of vitamins, one of her beloved weighted blankets, and some other items to help relax when he’s off the road.
Butts grew up around the queer community: Her acting and tap teachers were a married gay couple who were also best friends with her mom. “It’s been normal since I was five years old,” she says. “They’re the people who built me up, or told me when I was being sloppy.”
