Texas Music

How did we get through this thread with no mention of Casey Donahew Band? These guys put on a really good show and Casey is a very nice guy.

Aaron Watson has been getting a lot of playing time on our local station, most notably this song which is another knock out for him.

Speaking of put of the ordinary. Look up mule time on youtube by AJ and the whiskey rebellion. Owner of the bar/venue I used to run is good friends with AJ Vallejo, front man for the Austin group Vallejo. He produces a lot of stuff for texas artists. It is a song that he put together to help promote the Drunken Mule in commerce, he came up a couple of weeks ago and shot the video and put on a free show

This was on the radio this morning when I was headed to work, this song always gets a laugh.



And Bingham has some really good tunes out there.

Song that was playing as I pulled into work this morning. Some Bingham, windows down and cool air made for a somber drive in....

Some of Corb Lund's newer stuff and Max Stalling are some of my current favorites.

Looks like I'll get to catch Bleu Edmondson in May, hopefully he'll put on a good show.

Here is another thats pretty good despite that Pat Green gets a lot of shit for going Nashville. I really like the song since it's kinda a "things to do" list of Texas and I can luckily say that I have done most.

I have yet to see bleu put on a bad show. He played for us about 6 times before I left the venue. He was always a blast to party with!

It's funny how everyone knows that band and would turn out in droves but when it's just Cody Canada or the Departed it'll be 20 people. At the Dallas Brewfest last year my wife and I basically had a private show. There were literally 5 people counting us watching the band for the first 15 minutes. Granted it was a very poorly ran festival but still, it was Cody Canada!

I think it's the sound difference of the two bands. While not huge there is definatly a difference there. I never cared much for ragweed, people calling them ccr always rubbed me wrong.

I try to make the small shows. Hanks, the mule barn, and the point on lake texoma have been my favorite spots so far. Though I may try to make it more to the capital bar before it gets too hot for the Ranch's Wednesday night thing

He is a very talented musician and song writer. It will take time for his new stuff to catch on, although one of our local radio stations have been playing his stuff.

Not that I did not like Ragweed, I like it better to go see just Cody. No Ragweed on the bill and it weeds out the douchebags, they flocked to Ragweed shows for some reasons.

One of the best shows I have been to was Rogers and Bowen acoustic, "Hold My Beer and Watch This Tour"

Some the best stuff I've seen is when he and other guys get up and play stuff either as a group or acoustic. Him and Boland were good as well as Stoney and Edmondson. The Rogers/Bowen acoustic show was bad ass they played a gig up here but the shitty part was they played on a Tuesday night.

I think Watson is the best, total package in Country period, not just "Texas Country", though he refuses to sell out to Nashville.


Rhyder is still in my rotation. I have about 200 songs on an SD card in my truck that I probably have not updated in 2-3 years, still have not gotten tired of them!

Local paper had an article about Aaron Watson that was pretty neat said he never wants to get to big for the bar stuff that way people can still dance and have a good time.

Aaron Watson plays the best dancing music in the state short of Asleep at the Wheel. Never was a big Brandon Ryder fan as far as concert performance's go.

Prob my all time fav from Cody and Stoney -

My favorite was Cross Canadian Ragweed before they got too big to play at the smaller venues.

I think he ended up making his way over here a few months ago. He's a pretty nice kid.

Most definitely. Deserves all the success he achieves.
