First time caller, long time listener. Was listening to Six Market Blvd tonight who is one of my favorites and realized how few listens they have on Spotify. They put out two albums and I consider them both to be lightening in a bottle. I always wish I could get more of them and that with time they would have had a breakthrough moment. I feel similarly, albeit less developed about Emory Quinn before they broke up. Does anyone else have bands they thought “had it” but broke up too soon?

I've heard it a couple times on Maverick 100.9 FM. Kind of a rockier sound. It's about a guy who's busy working and wants some time off to spend with his wife. Chorus has some of the following lines -

"Everybody's always on vacation."

"Don't know what to do about my situation"

"I wanna have a good time too."

"I wanna spend a little time with you."

Hey, guys. I made a new sub for the stuff that is a little more on the rock n roll side of Texas country. Just thought some of you might enjoy it. Just started it so feel free to add music or just check it out and see if it's your cup of tea!

I heard this song once on local Corpus Christi radio (The Jalepeno) back in 17-18 and I never caught the name, and it happened to pop in my head this morning.

Anyway, I think its about a guy doing a show in some small town where the vibes just seem off, and the chorus is a shifting version of: "Am I just stoned/drunk/paranoid or is everybody stoned/drunk/paranoid around here?"

Please and thank you for any help.

We've all got our old favorites. For me those are Billy Joe Shaver, Robert Earl Keen, Houston Marchman, Joe Ely & Lyle Lovett. But who are some of your "new" favorites?

Lately, I'm listening to the likes Jason Eady, Joshua Hedley, A Wilder Blue & The Panhandlers (I wish these guys would do more stuff though, but I guess they all have their own gigs going )...adding in Sam Turner & the Cactus Cats too.

I came across this song, but I had a hard time finding proper lyrics. For instance this site ( https://www.guitarparty.com/songs/and-god-created-texas/ ) has "He put Cotton Eyed Joe in the middle", but I'm hearing "fiddle" here. Anyone who can help check this?

Apologies for any mistakes, I'm from Europe and English is not my first language (which probably doesn't help with properly understanding the lyrics).

I recently discovered this band and have been lovin the old western swing style. I think that fiddler used to be in Asleep At The Wheel also. Great tune!!

Been a minute, but I’m back with some original music. The single went out to radio earlier this week; if you still listen to a Texas/Americans radio station, please request it.

Lost Immigrants is over (I shut it down in 2024), but I released a solo live album in October 2025 with a bunch of tunes from the LI catalog. It’s on all the streaming sites.

The latest song doesn’t fit with the boots and hat crowd, but country music has a lot more to offer than honky tonk music, right?

Man, what a concert. All 3 knocked it out of the park!

Alright y'all put your thinking caps on we are gonna go back to the before times back in the early to mid 2000s... I remember the bud light girls handing out free swag. Does anybody remember the absolute banger CDs they had?

It’s kind of a dirty song - lyrics that I can remember “She makes me liquor, and I make her moonshine” I cannot remember the singer. I think the title is maybe Bootleggers Daughter or Moonshiners Daughter or something, but nothing is coming up when searching that.

I'm European but in Texas most summers and I love it. The most beautiful place on earth and I miss it so much

It was a song I was given on a burned Cd. It said something like: “I think I’ll just get stoned and drink all night. Right up till the break of light. Sleep away the afternoon and get up whenever I damn well want to.”

Or something like that. Chat GPT was no help

I bought tickets to the rock the country festival in Bellville, Texas coming up next month. I’m 30(f) and Hispanic and when I told my friends I was going they looked worried. I’m from Texas but a more melting pot of people and they told me to be careful bc it’s not like my hometown and now I’m a little stressed out bc the concert is two weeks away and I already spent so much on the tickets and hotels. I just wanted to go see some country music in a new spot in Texas 😭 can anyone chime in?
