Run Katie Run

Cowboy Boots With Fishnet Tights

Review by Gary Hill

I previously reviewed another EP from this act. I found it quite entertaining and intriguing. I would say the same of this one. This particular set is perhaps a little more firmly centered on the country side of the act’s sound, but there is still plenty of rock and other things in the mix. Whatever you call this, it’s a varied and fun ride.

This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) form in Music Street Journal: 2025  Volume 1. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2025.
Track by Track Review
Better Take Me with You

I love the energetic rockabilly sounds on this track. It’s more country than rock based, but there is definitely some rock in the mix. The duet works well.

I've Been Called Worse

The vocal arrangement on this track is so cool. This country rocker, which is basically the title track because the lyrics include that phrase is just so much fun. It’s definitely one of the highlights of the set.

The Art of Being Miserable

There is plenty of energy and sarcastic angst on this song. This is a classy tune that’s fun.

Pap Song

More old-school country in nature, there are still some modern things in the mix. It makes me think of Dolly Parton to some degree.

This Is All Your Fault

While this has some country still in the mix (mainly via the vocals) this is closer to classy rock music with a mainstream vibe.

Maybe Tonight

Energized and catchy, this is another entertaining blend of rock and country music.

Fight the Fights

There no big changes here. This is just another solid tune. The instrumental break really brings the country music home to roost.

The Middle

This isn’t quite a ballad, but it is a melodic piece of music. It lands more on the rock side, but probably folk rock, than country. It’s also a nice bit of variety. It’s one of my favorites here.

What's Mine, What's Yours?

Melodic music that’s also near ballad, but really there, this has some hints of country, but is more soft rock or contemporary pop in nature.

I'm the Rule

With multiple lines of vocals, this is an acapella track. It’s classy with just finger popping for accompaniment. It definitely brings more variety.

Make You Love Me

Piano and vocal based, this is more of a ballad.

Don't Live Patiently

Rock and country merge on this tune. It’s nothing earth shattering, but it is another entertaining piece of music.

Probably Won't

Bouncy and fun, this is another classy example of the type of music this group does.
