Intro by Gene Johns 

Traditional storytelling about drifting cowboys often goes like this: A cowboy rides into town, meets a girl, she falls in love, and then the restless drifter rides away. That was the way of the Old West, during the days of cattle drives and wagon trains.

This week’s Essie Country’s Real Country Music Song of the Week puts a twist on that familiar tale. Kalsey Kulyk’s “Neon Cowgirl” tells the story of a modern-day woman who drifts like a cowboy—not from town to town searching for the next cattle drive, but from honky-tonk to honky-tonk leaving broken hearts in her wake. Like a tumbleweed carried by the wind, when the weather vane turns, she’s gone without warning.

From the opening cry of the steel guitar to the steady country beat that follows, Kalsey’s distinctive voice delivers a performance that captures the spirit of real country music. With poetic storytelling, traditional country instrumentation, and an authentic country vocal, “Neon Cowgirl” offers everything fans of traditional country music appreciate.

So give this neon cowgirl a chance to wrangle your senses, lasso your imagination, and take you on a memorable ride. If you enjoy well-crafted storytelling, genuine country vocals, and the timeless sound of steel guitar, saddle up and listen to “Neon Cowgirl” by tapping on the link below.
