Texas-born singer-songwriter Jess Williamson has released the new single 'High Heels and Blue Jeans,' from her forthcoming sixth studio album, A Mile South of Heaven, out October 9 on New West Records.

A story of survival at its core, 'High Heels and Blue Jeans' illustrates the many ways that women perform in order to endure seemingly impossible situations. Sonically, silky melodies, smooth pedal steel guitar, and poignant percussion shine through.

Reflecting on the unique way that being on tour can amplify what an artist is going through, Williamson was inspired by the times on the road over the years when things felt hard for her. Instead of wallowing, she did what most women have mastered when the show must go on: reach for the waterproof eyeliner and power through.
