Linda Draper discusses her latest single “All In Due Time” with The Bluegrass Situation
 
“As the last couple of years unfolded, the ripple effect of this pandemic has hit people in different ways. I wrote this song with that in mind (it also coincided with the second wave of cases). Usually the songs I write have a bridge that leads to a new direction before resolving itself in the end. ‘All In Due Time’ doesn’t have a bridge, but instead segues into this cyclically layered chorus.
 
“I wanted the structure of the song to support the feeling in the lyrics and capture this snapshot in time when everything felt like it was in a holding pattern. I really enjoyed the collaborative spirit of recording this with Jeff Eyrich (who produced it and played bass), David Mansfield (violin), Doug Yowell (drums/percussion), Bennett Paster (piano), Steve Rossiter (who recorded my guitar and backup vocals), and Dae Bennett (who recorded my main vocals and mixed it).”

“Nostalgia is instantly triggered... Carrying feelings of longing, in a delightfully blended brew,” says Americana Highways in its premiere coverage of the video for Linda Draper’s latest single “‘81 Camaro,” streaming now. The song was also added to the publication’s recently launched “New Americana” playlist.

“I have never had more fun making a video,” Draper says. “We shot in Orlando, partially at Fun Spot amusement park and as the scene turns to night, I dip my toes into country line dancing.
 
“I will forever be changed by witnessing authentic country line dancing in person,” Draper continues. “Everyone instinctually just knew all the moves, it was so beautiful and graceful. If these beautiful folks at Cowboys (the club where the line dancing footage was filmed) one day develop a country line dance for “‘81 Camaro,” all of my dreams will have come true.”

Linda Draper | About
 

 
Linda Draper grew up in a musical home as the daughter of a classical guitar virtuoso who studied with Andres Segovia. She began playing guitar and writing songs as a child and eventually became a fixture in the downtown New York City’s anti-folk music scene on the Lower East Side.
 
Since 2001, Draper has released numerous albums, toured the US and UK, and opened for acclaimed musicians such as Teddy Thompson, Melissa Ferrick, Luka Bloom, and Eilen Jewell. Draper has also seen her songs licensed for commercials and television.
 
She is now embarking on her biggest challenge to date with the formation of her own label, South Forty Records.
 
Patience and Lipstick,” Draper’s upcoming new album, was produced by Jeff Eyrich, mixed by Grammy®-award winning engineer, Dae Bennett, and features performers David Mansfield (Strings), Jeff Eyrich (Bass), and Doug Yowell (Drums and Percussion). It is the inaugural release on the artist’s own label South Forty Records.
