Kaitlin Butts' autobiographical 17-song LP "Roadrunner!," is out today via Soundly Music. The disc uses the hit musical, "Oklahoma," as a reference point for the songs. Songs include "Other Girls (Ain't Havin' Any Fun)," a song Butts co-wrote with Natalie Hemby.
Austin Snell is out with his debut disc on Warner Nashville, "Still Bleeding," featuring 13 tracks produced by Andrew Baylis. Snell combines countrty dwith a gritty sensibility, giving birth to what Snell aptly terms grunge-country. The release also includes "Pray All The Way Home."
