Kaitlin Butts’ new album Hello, Honky Tonk features 14 new songs pressed on Jamboree Pink vinyl in a gatefold package. The 14-track collection brings the colorful denizens of Butts’ own fantasy establishment — “Katie B’s saloon” — to life. A good pal, who knows a thing or two about honky tonk clientele, sets the stage in a spoken word opening number. In a wry twang, the honeyed Louisiana-inflected voice intones that the place gets all kinds of kinds, including, but not limited to: “The lovers, heartbreakers/The big talkers, unwanted advicers/The drinkers, line dancers, barkeepers, the ponderers/And the ones who worked way too hard who are probably gonna go buck wild, dance on the bar and lose their bra-ers.” In other words, you and everyone you know.

“This album really is my love letter to honky tonks and the night life,” Butts shares.

But a funny thing happened on the way to the bar. As Butts was writing the songs in late 2025 and early 2026, both on her own and with a murderers’ row of collaborators, she took detours to Broadway and Disney World, drawing inspiration from the musical Chicago and The Country Bear Jamboree, respectively.

Released 10/30/26 via Republic Records, Hello, Honky Tonk is available here on on Jamboree Pink colored vinyl LP & CD.
