Ella Langley released what some are already deeming the record of the summer when she put out Dandelion last Friday (Apr. 10.)
While most country fans checked out Langley’s record the day it came out, you would expect some other country artists to listen to the record when they got the chance to, in between performing, writing and recording themselves.
That is not the case for Lainey Wilson, who some would put in the same category as Langley and expect there to be some competition, it’s actually the polar opposite.
What Was Lainey Wilson’s Reaction to Ella Langley’s Dandelion Album?
While Wilson was in Arizona performing at the 30th annual Country Thunder Arizona festival this past weekend (April 9-12), she took the time to give her critique of Langley’s record.
Wilson says to the crowd, “Hold up, have y’all listened to the Ella Langley record?”
As the local radio hosts responded that they had indeed heard the record already, Wilson’s face lit up with excitement, as if it were her own sister that just released a hell of a record.
“Imma tell you right now, my girl, Ella…” Lainey then smiled really big and bowed her head to the crowd, letting them know that she was indeed enamored by Langley’s new record, Dandelion.
The fact that Wilson was headlining the show and was being interviewed beforehand and used some of her interview time to co-sign her fellow artist’s work in a huge way makes a huge impact on not only country music, but their friendship.
