Americana artist Chloe Chadwick is back with a delightful new release
that's bound to take you on a nostalgic journey through the iconic and
cherished childhood games of "Cowboys and Indians." "Shoot
to Run" (tagged Americana), Chadwick's latest single, is a
light-hearted and fun exploration of this classic rivalry that has captured the
imaginations of generations.
We all
remember those days of sweet innocence, playing in the backyard, dressing up,
and immersing ourselves in the captivating world of make-believe. Cowboys and
Indians were the characters who stood at the centre of our imaginative
adventures. Chadwick brings these cherished memories to life in her own unique
style, reminding us of the days when choosing to be a cowboy or an Indian was
the ultimate decision, as both held equal fascination and awe.

While
Hollywood often portrayed these iconic characters as being at odds, locked in
bitter conflict, and engaged in fierce battles for vast territories, Chloe
Chadwick's "Shoot to Run" takes a different approach. Her goal is not
to pass judgment, search for historical accuracy, or delve into metaphorical
depths, but rather to unveil the playful and enjoyable side of Cowboys and
Indians that resonates with people across the globe, irrespective of
Hollywood's often stereotypical representations.
"Shoot to Run" is a
musical journey that captures the essence of the Cowboys and Indians game and
the fond memories associated with it. With her soulful Americana style and
evocative storytelling, this latest single is sure to strike a chord with
audiences of all ages. Through her music, she encapsulates the joy, wonder, and
innocence that we all once experienced while embracing these timeless
characters.
YOUTUBE In her own
words, Chloe talks about the inspiration behind writing the song "I
remember as little as 6 or 7 years old, there was always a western film on the
TV being played whilst the Sunday dinner was cooking or when we got back from a
Saturday afternoon of sports and we were waiting for the bath to run, hoping
there was no hot water so we could play a bit longer.
I used to get engulfed in
the adventures of the Wild West being played out in black and white on channel
4. It was somewhat exciting seeing cowboys on horses, and Indians protecting
their lands in an adventure of seeking the promise land and freedom. I would be
engulfed for hours on an afternoon (or minutes so my mum would probably
claim!). The thought of those childhood days dressing up as cowboys and Indians
and watching those films as a kid on a weekend, somehow brings back a calmness
and warm feeling inside, reminding me of a pastime that was peaceful, even
though ironically they were films of bloodshed and war. The characters you
warmed to, the stories were adventurous, the rivalry you fell in love with. You
wanted to be them, ride with them, and see where the adventures would take you!
That was my inspiration behind writing 'Shoot to Run".
"Shoot
to Run" is a delightful departure from the everyday, offering a refreshing
and heart-warming perspective on our beloved childhood pastime. The single is a
testament to Chadwick's ability to connect with her audience on a personal and
emotional level, making it a must-listen for fans of both Country and Americana
and those who appreciate music that touches the heart.
