It's official. I'm going to eat at Crawdaddys Bayou Bar and Grill in West Chester shortly. To prepare myself, I'm going to listen to this version of the City of New Orleans by The Highwaymen - sung by my main man Willie Nelson. Go ahead. Take a listen.

Texas rivals California in terms of producing prolific singer-songwriters. They range from the famous and classic, like Willie Nelson and Townes Van Zandt, to the modern party singers like Hayes Carl and Pat Green. But if we have to pick a favorite it's going to be Lyle Lovett. Both entertainer and troubadour, Lovett is a showman who sings often unsophisticated music with a high level of sophistication...

If you think of fiddles and pedal steel when you think of country, you still get angry when you think about Shania Twain, and you think “Rascal Flatts” sounds like a venereal disease, then Carrie Underwood is not for you. If, on the other hand, you like [...]

I was approached to review the new Lucero album and I thought I would give this "new band" a shot. After doing some research on this band I have realized my mistake. This band will probably be one of those "overnight successes" that took 10 years to happen. Yes, they released their debut self-titled album in 2000 on a tiny label called Madjack. Now, 9 years later, the Tennessee-based...

It was 35 years ago when a self-described “rag tag bunch of long-haired hippie public television types” caught Willie Nelson on video camera and produced the very first episode of Austin City Limits. To celebrate the show’s anniversary and his new record, Nelson returns with Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel for a very [...]
