For those unaware, Kate Coleman may be front and center in Run Katie Run, but the band’s new album, Cowboy Boots with Fishnet Tights, due out April 28th, 2023, deeply reflects the community surrounding her.

Its 13 Americana/roots-rock tracks cover the good, the sad, the inspired, and the tired — and everything in between — about relationships of all kinds.

As RKR recorded throughout 2022, the five friends who first met at an open mic night in Georgia arranged and produced the album together, and Kate says she could see their trust in each other — and their friendships — grow as the months went by.

1. Better Take Me with You
2. I’ve Been Called Worse
3. The Art of Being Miserable
4. Pap Song
5. This Is All Your Fault
6. Maybe Tonight
7. Fight the Fights
8. The Middle
9. What’s Mine, What’s Yours?
10. I’m the Rule
11. Make You Love Me
12. Don’t Live Patiently
13. Probably Won’t

This vibrantly adorned new recording opens on the pleasingly rambunctious Better Take Me with You and the cheerfully upbeat I’ve Been Called Worse (co-written with Kira Annalise and Hailey Fletcher), and with every song having been written by Kate bar one, up next is bassist Stephen’s first songwriting contribution to the band, the foot-tapping hipsway of The Art of Being Miserable (which also includes fiddle player Sarah Cammisano and mandolin player Addie Levy), and that is followed by the countrified swing within Pap Song (for Kate’s late paternal grandfather, the noted guitar-playing Pap), and then comes the beautiful, mid-tempo balladry of This Is All Your Fault.

Along next is the effervescent hip-slapper Maybe Tonight and the exuberantly impassioned Fight the Fights (which again features both Cammisano and Levy), and they are in turn backed by the quieter fare of The Middle and the intricately woven, break-up song What’s Mine, What’s Yours? and then we get brought forth the dutifully harmonized I’m the Rule, the piano ballad Make You Love Me, the album rounding out on the guitar-infused Don’t Live Patiently (inspired by Kate’s late father-in-law), coming to a close on the country twang of Probably Won’t (which also uses Kate’s tap dancing as percussion).

Kate wrote most of the album, the quintet’s first full-length, within a couple of weeks. “Reflecting on my relationships was clearly what was driving me, even if I didn’t know it at the time,” she says.

Shortly thereafter, while Run Katie Run were experiencing new career highs, Kate’s paternal grandfather — the guitar-playing Pap in “Pap Song” — and Run Katie Run guitarist Corey’s stepfather, Kate’s father-in-law, who inspired “Don’t Live Patiently,” both died.

“I really struggled, actually, with understanding how so many horrible things can happen at the same time as so many wonderful things,” Kate admits, “and I think looking at the relationships in my life helped me with that a little bit.”
