July 9, 2009 — The first single from Terri Clark's upcoming album is a blues-charged glimpse into the singer's own life.
The song, "Gypsy Boots," may be familiar to Terri's fans because she has been playing it in concert. "I started doing it in the shows acoustic, because it says a lot about who I am, where I come from ...," she says.
The song was such a hit with fans that Terri decided to record it with a band. The song, co-written by Terri, Jon Randall and Leslie Satcher, tells of restlessness and living life to the fullest:
I was born in gypsy boots, guitar on my back
Rebel soul and attitude, just like Johnny Cash.

Given that Clark asked to be released from her contract with Sony/BMG Nashville so she could make an album after her own heart, it's a fitting choice.
"Gypsy Boots" hits radio July 20. Her self-produced album, The Long Way Home, will be released in September. Terri wrote or co-wrote all=2 012 tracks. The album will be the 40-year-old Terri's first new music in almost three years.
