On the Georgia native’s new track, cadences reminiscent of Dolly Parton carry a story of broken hearts and survival
“Hand-me-down dreams got me high in the rafters,” the Georgia native sings at the start of her new song, “Small Town Hypocrite.” “Homecoming queen couldn’t be an outsider, so there I sit with a cigarette lit and a leather jacket.” It’s an evocative line, making the listener wonder if she looks like Sandra Dee but feels like Danny Zuko.
