Lainey Wilson has earned her ninth No. 1 at country radio with “Somewhere Over Laredo,” the lead single from her Whirlwind (Deluxe) album.

“Somewhere Over Laredo” was written by Wilson along with Trannie Anderson, Dallas Wilson and Andy Albert. Check out the Somewhere Over Laredo performance video – HERE.

The song honors “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”, which Wilson talked about on CBS Mornings:  “I spend a lot of my time 30,000 feet in the air, flying to the next show, the next town, and you know when you’re staring out the window you get to just spend a little bit of time with yourself and reminisce and dream, talk to God, and all of those things and this song right here — it gave me an opportunity to kind of step back into a pair of shoes that I wore a long time ago .. And I’m partial, but this is one of my favorite songs that I have ever written, and, I mean, of course everybody is inspired by the song ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow,’ and we’ll see. It’s out now.”

Lainey also unveiled the official music video for “Somewhere Over Laredo,” directed by decorated filmmaker TK McKamy (Tim McGraw, Reba, Darius Rucker). An official video description reads: “Wilson embarks on a surreal adventure inspired by the timeless magic of The Wizard of Oz. In pursuit of love lost, Wilson takes a trip down the yellow brick road through symbolic memories as a mysterious cowboy lures her deeper into a lucid dream.”
