It is an arresting, ambitious song-cycle that explores the generational arc of family, the stranglehold of addiction, and the fragile ties that bind us together as Americans. This is a record that understands that love and grief are two sides of the same coin. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJaimee Harris turned 30 during the pandemic. It’s a milestone that is a rite of passage even during normal times. But for this Texas-born singer-songwriter, it came in the midst of one of the strangest and most tumultuous periods in American history. When the world stopped during lockdown, Harris, like many others, found herself gazing back into the past, ruminating on the nature of her hometown and family origins, and reckoning with their imprint on her. The term ‘nostalgia’ derives from the Greek words \u003cem\u003enostos \u003c\/em\u003e(return) and \u003cem\u003ealgos \u003c\/em\u003e(pain), and if Harris’s \u003cem\u003eBoomerang Town\u003c\/em\u003e can be regarded as a nostalgic album, it is only nostalgic in the sense that the longing for home is a desire to return to the past and heal old wounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Harris, the album began gestating around 2016, a time of great loss for many in the Americana community, with the songwriter losing several musicians close to her. The shift in the nation’s political landscape had ushered in a new level of polarization that saw whole swaths of cultural life being demonized. For someone who grew up in a small town outside of Waco, Harris believed the values instilled in her by her parents were not entirely in line with how many on the left were viewing — and vilifying — Christians, citing them as responsible for the new change in leadership. As a person in recovery, Harris has had to re-evaluate her own connection to faith and find strength in a higher power (“Though he’s not necessarily a blue-eyed Jesus,” she laughs), though she certainly knows what it’s like to “be told how to vote” in a Southern church setting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was from the intersection of these social, personal, and political currents the album was born. And while much of the material on \u003cem\u003eBoomerang Town\u003c\/em\u003e was inspired by personal experience, the songs on this collection are far from autobiographical xeroxed copies. More than anything, they come from a place of emotional truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“My goal is to just write the best possible song I can write,” Harris says, “and I wanted to have ten songs that made sense together sonically. I still believe in the album format, and I wanted to lay the groundwork as a solid songwriter.” On \u003cem\u003eBoomerang Town\u003c\/em\u003e, Jaimee Harris, who was able to find her way out — unlike so many others — has accomplished all that, and much more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoomerang Town is available on CD and LP.  The Vinyl packaging features a translucent outer sleeve with a striking design that compliments the official underlying album artwork. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoomerang Town\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSam's\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Could You Be Gone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Fair and Dark Haired Lady\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn the Surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood Morning, My Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLike You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFall (Devin's Song)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove is Gonna Come Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissing Someone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 793888103375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Folk N Roll Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.17.23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jaimee Harris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58292958396497,"sku":"585893","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4167500-3167082.jpg?v=1760747044","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/es\/products\/boomerang-town-lp","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
