Hell On Heels: Weekend Playlist by Mickie James

by | May 24, 2019 | MUSIC

Every Friday night, RVA Mag drops an absolutely amazing playlist curated by Virginia’s most influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This time around, WWE superstar Mickie James brings you a heaping helping of champion sounds to get you through your long Memorial Day weekend. You may be familiar with James’ exploits in the squared circle via WWE Smackdown, but if you’re not also aware of her career as a hellraising country singer, you’ll definitely need to take a listen.

This playlist kicks off with her latest single, then rolls into a highly varied mix featuring everything from classic soul and aggressive hip hop to indie beats and good ol’ rock n’ roll — plus plenty of that legendary outlaw country sound we all know and love. Crank this one up for your backyard barbecue this weekend — it’s sure to make everybody smile.

Drop the elbow, Virginia.
