Song Premiere: Ana Popovic, “Boys Night Out”

Videos by American Songwriter

Serbian guitar slinger Ana Popovic moved her family to Memphis last year, where she recorded Can You Stand The Heat, her latest album of blues-inspired originals. The album, out this week, was cut at historic Ardent Studios with a cast of top notch Memphis sidemen, and was co-produced by BB King drummer Tony Coleman.

Take a listen to the funky album track “Boys Night Out.” “It’s a fun tune I wrote while trying to look at a “boy’s night out” from the male perspective,” Popovic tells American Songwriter. “We girls sit at home and nag about it, but sometimes men need a night filled with talk of cars, poker, smoking, drinking. It’s fine to give it to them once in a while. . .”
