Bluestown Music

With A Mile South of Heaven, Jess Williamson delivers her sixth solo album and makes her debut on New West Records. The Texas-born singer-songwriter embraces a more traditional country sound than ever before, while retaining the dreamy, mystical atmosphere and introspective songwriting that have become hallmarks of her music.

Produced by Shooter Jennings at the legendary Sunset Sound Studio in Los Angeles, the album blends warm, organic arrangements with pedal steel, fiddle, and banjo. Williamson explores themes of love, loss, identity, and the search for inner peace, reflecting on the contrast between life in Los Angeles and the wide-open landscapes of West Texas.

Songs such as “Goodbye to All That,” “Country Mile,” and “Hum of the City” paint deeply personal stories filled with melancholy, hope, and self-discovery. The album’s title, A Mile South of Heaven, reflects the realization that perfection is unattainable and that true fulfillment comes from appreciating where we are in the present moment.

The result is an intimate and beautifully crafted country album that showcases Jess Williamson’s finest songwriting and most confident vocal performances to date. It is a record that effortlessly bridges traditional Americana with a modern indie sensibility.
