Kaitlin Butts who released her latest album Roadrunner! in June continues to drop music videos for some of the album’s standout tracks. Yesterday saw the release of the music video for ‘Wild Juanita’s Cactus Juice‘ – available to view here. This video follows the release of videos for ‘Other Girls (Ain’t Havin’ Any Fun),‘ ‘Roadrunner‘ and ‘Hunt You Down‘). In the ‘Wild Juanita’s Cactus Juice’ video, Butts slings the mysterious elixir, eventually turning a barroom full of fights into party.
Butts, who will be touring the UK next month with Flatland Cavalry and playing at The Long Road festival, continues to carve out a space as one of the most dynamic and ambitious artists making country music today. When it came time to create her third album, the Tulsa-born, Nashville-based musician leaned into her lifelong love of musical theater and dreamed up a modern-day reimagining of the soundtrack to her all-time favourite musical, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! The result: a high-concept but candidly autobiographical LP whose 17 powerhouse songs show the full force and extraordinary depth of Butts’ artistry for the very first time.
Butts is nominated for “Emerging Act of the Year” at the 2024 Americana Honors & Awards, alongside Charles Wesley Godwin, The Red Clay Strays, Wyatt Flores and Jobi Riccio. The awards take place on September 18th at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN, and Butts will perform at the awards show. Butts plays Lollapalooza next month, and will tour with Dierks Bentley in the U.S. and with Flatland Cavalry in the UK this Summer.
