Jess Williamson announces ‘A Mile South of Heaven’, her first album for New West Records, and shares its opening single ‘Goodbye to All That’. Produced by Shooter Jennings at Sunset Sound, the album embraces traditional country instrumentation including pedal steel, fiddle and banjo while retaining Williamson’s indie-folk storytelling instincts.
Its songs examine victories, losses, ambition and the uncomfortable discovery that life rarely provides a clear finish line with refreshments. The title suggests being close to an ideal without ever fully arriving, but Williamson treats that distance as something hopeful rather than tragic. ‘Goodbye to All That’ introduces the album through clear-eyed writing and a warm, lived-in arrangement that feels traditional without becoming trapped in the past. It is music for leaving something behind while understanding that the emotional luggage has probably already been loaded into the car. ‘A Mile South of Heaven’ arrives in October.
