Turns out, Lainey Wilson has always been 'hell on wheels!' | Music City Minute

Episode Description

Do you know what I love about country artists? They are honest about their lives being similar to ours (aside from the global superstar thing). Yet, that is what is so special about the genre – just how down-to-earth artists can be. Speaking of relatable, Lainey Wilson recently shared a story about an incident from her younger days in Baskin, Louisiana, that found her on the wrong side of the law. “I got a ticket when I was 15 for going 75 [mph] in a 45 [mph zone]. Thank goodness the judge was my next door neighbor and he made me write a song about speeding,” Wilson admits. While many of us can relate to a speeding ticket, I do not think any of us were lucky enough to receive the same specific consequences. Regardless, I cannot help but appreciate the elements of that story that screams small town. I mean, the population of Baskin is only about 250 folks after all. At the end of the day though, the “Heart Like A Truck” singer’s cheeky story could be an awesome country song; however, instead of the judge being her neighbor, she should change it to “granddad” for that real country bite.
