It’s hard not to notice when someone like Ladson walks into the room—there’s a certain air about him, like he’s part of the past and the future all at once. His latest track, “Boots Like Mine,” is proof of that. Ladson is the kind of artist who can take the heart of Americana and add a groove that leaves you second-guessing what genre you’re even listening to.

“Boots Like Mine” is a handshake between country roots and the raw, soul-filled pulse of R&B. Ladson playing with tradition and reshaping it, giving country music a sleek new edge without losing the dust and grit that makes it so authentic.
He makes it work, and “Boots Like Mine” is all the better for it. It’s got the soul, the swagger, and the storytelling chops to stand tall in the crowded space of Americana, but with a flavor that’s distinctly his own.
