It's a new year Americana Podcast listeners! And with a new year, means new discussions on what makes Americana… well Americana. When we look at this genre, we talk a lot it's history and its future. And over time we've been able to piece together this ongoing timeline and certain elements that are key to its existence. Base influences in songwriting, certain instrumentation, and geography. If you've been a long-time listener, you'd know that many of our previous guests have attributed a great deal of their musical identity to where they learned music from. This of course is a holdover from the new world mentality in the west, where many genres developed due to particularly regional and social integrations over extended periods of time. When looking at Americana we are specifically looking at the European folk trad to bluegrass, blues to rock, and then rock and bluegrass to country as we know it today. That's a lot of words to basically say the place that you identify as home, has as significant of an effect on your musical education as who's albums you choose to listen to growing up. And Kentucky aside, some of the artists that know that best are from Texas and Oklahoma.There's a lot of opinions on the state of Red Dirt Music and Texas Country. Developing as sub genres in the late 80's to early 00's, this very regional brand of music came up in response to commercial country. And I'm not talking Florida Georgia Line commercial, I'm talking Tim McGraw commercial. Who we love. But there's a lot of ups and downs and opinions in the overall conversation but the general one is that Red Dirt and Texas Country became a space for outsiders beyond the Nashville standard. Piggybacking off of the outlaw movement and the historical legacies of artists, particularly Texas native Willie Nelson, these scenes were able to flourish in their respective regions and began to go a bit beyond. They were in a position to challenge the value of industry effect in radio versus organic growth in listenership. They developed loyal followings, local radio play. The works. But due to a long series of unfortunate commercial circumstances, the scenes have presently been relegated very much south of the red river. And I could go on about this, but fortunately this episode you can it straight from the quarter horse's mouth. Americana Podcast speaks with the artists who possibly have the most pertinent opinions on the state of Red Dirt and Texas Country and their weight in the views of Americana music. On this episode we have musical and actual giant Ray Benson from Asleep at The Wheel. Defender of the Dance Hall Randy Rogers, Okie not from Muskogee Jason Boland of Jason Boland and the stragglers, young blood William Beckmann, whip smart Wade Bowan, and philanthropist at heart Josh Abbott. Saddle up and enjoy the show.
One of our favorite Texas country artists helps us kick off Season 2! For our first episode of 2023, we met up with Josh Abbott before he and the band took the stage at Billy Bob's Texas — where we recorded from the green room! We talked to Josh about how it feels to play the world's largest honky-tonk, the birth of the Josh Abbott Band and their years at Texas Tech, his biggest inspirations as an artist, career milestones, the JAB Cares foundation and what's up next. We also compare notes from our time in Vegas at the NFR (the Super Bowl of Rodeo, where we saw JAB play in December). Like the show?

Andrew and Sean discuss The Panhandlers after their 'West Texas Is The Best Texas' EP made their Top 5 albums of the year. The super group of Flatland Cavalry's Cleto Cordero, Josh Abbott, John Baumann, and William Clark Green are all successful in their own right, but arguably greater than the sum of their parts as The Panhandlers. This is capital C, Country-Country Music that is as entertaining and witty as it is poetic and endearing.

With a new album out, The Highway Kind, and a beer in hand, we talked about the Austin music scene, some of his highlights from sharing the stage with some of country music biggest stars, and the time he got to duet with Dierks Bentley while his bandmate sat in the nosebleed seats. Father, Husband, and BBQ restaurant proprietor, Josh is one heck of a guy, and killer song writer and may just have turned Scopes in a country music fan.

Episode 141 is with The Panhandlers--the West Texas collaboration between songwriters Josh Abbott, William Clark Green, John Baumann, and Cleto Cordero of Flatland Cavalry--who released their debut self-titled last Spring. As their namesake alludes, these songs are about the Panhandle of Texas and the greater West Texas area in general. As sons of The Panhandle and Far West Texas, their solo catalogs have often echoed the howling winds that drive Heaven and earth across the South Plains, the unrelenting sun that dries out cattle pastures and iron orchards of the rugged oil fields, and most importantly, the resilient folks who claim the Land of Big Sky home. The quartet understands them more than most due to their time working and living in the Hub City of Lubbock for long stretches of time. With The Panhandlers, they've written and recorded an album's worth of richly detailed vignettes and organic dust-blown ballads that celebrate their West Texas roots and heritage. During this interview, we talk about those West Texas roots, talk about the Blue Light songwriting culture, the works of Jerry Jeff Walker and Billy Joe Shaver, and hear a handful of stories about life in Lubbock.

This week, we kick things off with Texas singer-songwriter Josh Abbott, who at week's end will be releasing his sixth full-length album, The Highway Kind (Friday, Nov. 13). I feel that The Highway Kind not only has some of Abbott's best songwriting to date, it's also Abbott's strongest full-length both thematically and sonically. Abbott has long been an ambitious album maker with loose conceptual themes throughout his career. It's something I'm not sure he's been given his proper due, but it something that's set him apart from much of his Texas Country leaning peers. It isn't always perfect or came across as well as he's intended, but those grander brush strokes of album themes have always been there. And that's in part what makes The Highway Kind so interesting. Abbott feels loose and comfortable without being fully satisfied. The even balanced nature is a driving force for the album, which is largely inspired by the ease, health, and well-being found in Abbott's home life as a father, husband, son, and so on. The concepts and themes aren't forced or buried due to outside influence or pressure. Rather, lead singles such as "The Highway Kind," "The Luckiest," and "Settle Me Down" fit hand in glove with deep cuts such as "Old Men & Rain," "One More Two-Step," and "Women & Wishes" (which very well should be a single). Abbott leans in and embraces those core familial values that connect one generation to the next. "The Highway Kind" and "Settle Me Down" intertwine with one another as they play off sides of the very same coin. It's specifically there where Abbott sings about the highways that lead you away and return you back to home. It's both the adventurous journey and the hearthstone fire that leads the way back.During this interview, we talk about those themes and concepts of The Highway Kind, recording at Sonic Ranch, songwriting, storytelling, The Panhandlers, Terry Allen, and much more.This episode's presenting partner is Desert Door Texas Sotol.

Josh Abbott of Josh Abbott Band was unintentionally dragged into discussions about Texas governor, Greg Abbott regarding the pandemic.
El 6 de junio de 1980, hace 40 años, se publicaba la banda sonora de la película Urban Cowboy, un día después del estreno de la cinta en Houston, Texas. Urban Cowboy fue dirigida por James Bridges y contaba una relación amor/odio entre "Bud" (John Travolta) y Sissy (Debra Winger) teniendo como punto de encuentro el Gilley's Club, sin ninguna duda, el honky tonk más grande del mundo, abierto en Pasadena, Texas, en 1971 por Mickey Gilley y Sherwood Cryer. El complejo tenía una capacidad de 7,000 personas, repartidas por distintos bares, pistas de baile, escenarios, toro mecánico e incluso rodeo. Aquella película dio origen al llamado Urban Cowboy Movement, que otros relacionaron con el neo-Country o el hill boogie. Su banda sonora fue pieza clave de su éxito, una buena parte de las 18 canciones de su doble LP se incluyeron en el Top 10 de singles de country y otros llegaron a la cima de las listas. Hoy vamos a recordar aquellos momentos. El guión de Urban Cowboy está basado en la historia de amor real de dos clientes habituales de Gilley, Dew Westbrook y Betty Helmer, de los que el periodista Aaron Latham había escrito en la revista Esquire un reportaje titulado "The Ballad of the Urban Cowboy: America's Search for True Grit". El director de cine James Bridges y Latham lo convirtieron en un guión y Paramount eligió a una estrella en ascenso como Debra Winger (a quien recordaréis no hace mucho en la serie de televisión The Ranch) en el papel de Sissy, y a John Travolta (que había tenido un enorme éxito en Saturday Night Fever y Grease) para interpretar a Bud Davis. Aquella banda sonora se abría con “Hello Texas”, un tema compuesto expresamente para la película, que Jimmy Buffett interpretó al margen de sus grabaciones habituales de entonces, que el músico de Mississippi ya denominaba "rock and roll caribeño", aunque también suele usar el término "Gulf & Western”. Musicalmente, Johnny Lee fue uno de los grandes protagonistas de la banda sonora de Urban Cowboy. Nativo de Texas City, creció en una granja de Alta Loma, también en el Estado de la Estrella Solitaria escuchando a Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis y Chuck Berry, formando una banda de rock'n'roll durante sus años escolares en Santa Fe llamada Johnny Lee & The Roadrunners, con la que ganó distintos concursos locales. Johnny Lee se convirtió en toda una sorpresa. Apareció en la cinta, y dos de sus canciones se incluyeron en la banda sonora. "Lookin' For Love", el tema central que él interpretaba, llegó a la cima de las listas de pop y country en aquel mismo año y vendió más de un millón de copias. Es posible que el Gilley's fuera al country lo que Studio 54 en Nueva York fue a la disco music. Lo que nadie puede negar es que con aquel local se sentaron las bases para la aparición de otros clubes tejanos y más allá, incluidos el Billy Bob's Texas de Fort Worth (fundado al año siguiente del éxito de la película) y el Cowboys Dancehall de San Antonio (inaugurado en el 98). Los clientes habituales, conocidos como "Gilly Rats", hicieron de Gilley’s una especie de familia, aunque no era precisamente un lugar familiar. La producción de Urban Cowboy corrió a cargo de Irving Azoff, un manager de artistas como REO Speedwagon y Dan Fogelberg que adquirió solvencia en la industria musical por su estrecha relación con los Eagles. Fue fundador de Full Moon y Giant Records e influyó muy directamente en la selección de artistas para la banda sonora de la película, incluyendo a varios de sus representados. “Times Like These” la representación de Dan Fogelberg. Al año siguiente, la canción formaría parte del doble álbum The Innocent Age del músico de Illinois, posiblemente el trabajo más reconocido de su carrera. En el tema, Fogelberg tocaba todos los instrumentos excepto la batería, que estuvo en manos de Russ Kunkel. Bonnie Raitt, que hizo un cameo en la cinta, incluyó dos temas en la banda sonora, ninguno de ellos editado en sus álbumes oficiales. Así ocurrió con "Don't it Make Ya Wanna Dance", una canción del tejano de Austin Rusty Wier que fue versionada por artistas como Jerry Jeff Walker, Todd Snider, Chris LeDoux o John Hiatt. Ninguna película influyó en el country como lo hizo Urban Cowboy, ni siquiera Pure Country con George Strait a comienzos de los 90. Y ningún otro club lo hizo tanto como Gilley’s. En cierta manera, Urban Cowboy capturó el espíritu de la vida nocturna que una parte de los americanos anhelaba. Las botas vaqueras, los sombreros y las grandes hebillas se pusieron de moda… y es algo que todavía se mantiene, habiendo saltado fronteras. El presente nos cita con Margo Price que en la primavera de 2018 estuvo actuando durante tres noches en la llamada “Mother Church of Country Music”, el mítico Ryman Auditorium de Nashville y ahora ha publicado por sorpresa una selección de 11 cortes tomados de aquellos conciertos en el álbum Perfectly Imperfect at the Ryman, muy pocas fechas antes de lanzar su nuevo disco de estudio, That’s How Rumors Get Started. Durante aquellas fechas, la artista tuvo invitados como Jack White, Sturgill Simpson –que ha producido su nuevo álbum- y Emmylou Harris, con la que cantó a dúo en esta versión a “Wild Women”, que originalmente formó parte de All American Made, el segundo trabajo de Margo Price en 2017 con esta combinación de twang tejano, country de Nashville y soul de Memphis. Neon Cross ha fortalecido la carrera de Jaime Wyatt y ha afianzado la personalidad de la artista californiana. La producción tan afinada de Shooter Jennings ha reforzado sus propuestas sonoras para contar sus luchas reales contra el dolor, la adicción y la aceptación de su sexualidad. Esto último se refleja en "Rattlesnake Girl", arropado en ciertos elementos cercanos a la psicodelia. Cantar, como hace Jaime, sobre su orientación sexual no es algo que se aborde con frecuencia en la country music, por lo que escucharlo de una mujer que aún está despegando en ese género resulta audaz y emotivo. Kathryn Legendre nació en la tejana Helotes y se ha localizado en la escena de Austin con el mejor espíritu del honky tonk. Debutó en 2013 y por el momento suma álbum y un par de EPs hasta la aparición de su más reciente novedad, "One Long Sad Song", cambiando el enfoque para perfeccionar su forma de componer canciones mientras el mundo viaja por extrañas carreteras. Kathryn Legendre casi nunca ha seguido las tendencias que se suponen y sus influencias conectan con los modos de componer de Guy Clark o Merle Haggard, y filtra también las maneras de contar historias de Loretta Lynn, Bonnie Raitt o Linda Ronstadt. Un Ep y dos álbumes es el cargamento sonoro de The Golden Roses, una formación con sede en la tejana Austin, que en Smell The Roses al que da nombre genérico esta canción, cantan a sus experiencias basándose en sus propias influencias en las que hay espacio para el country, el bluegrass, Western swing y algo de rock 'n roll, todo ello filtrado por locales emblemáticos como el Broken Spoke y de forma muy especial el Ginny’s Little Longhorn Saloon, donde aprendieron casi todo lo que saben. “Smell The Roses” ha contado con Zachary Moulton de Mike and the Moonpies como invitado en la Steel guitar. Mike & The Moonpies se han refugiado en Touch of You- The Lost Songs of Gary Stewart, un álbum de canciones inéditas del músico de Jenkins, en el Condado de Letcher, en Kentucky, que habría cumplido 76 años el pasado jueves de no haberse suicidado en diciembre de 2003, unas semanas después de que su mujer muriera de neumonía. Jamie Lin Wilson, Courtney Patton y Zac Wilkerson son algunos de los invitados en esta aventura, además de un dúo con Mark Wystrach de Midland en “Smooth Shot of Whiskey”, una canción que el artista desaparecido compuso con Dean Dillon y Frank Dycus y que quedó fuera de un EP de Dillon y Gary Stewart que en principio era un proyecto más amplio. Midland tomó su nombre de una canción de Dwight Yoakam como "Fair to Midland", que apareció en 2003 en su álbum Population Me. Ahora también han jugado con el título de un Lp tan emblemático del músico de Kentucky como Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc. Etc. para dar nombre a un nuevo EP, con algunas versiones acústicas de sus canciones más conocidas, que han llamado Guitars, Couches, Etc., Etc. La grabación se hizo durante la cuarentena desde las casas de sus tres miembros. "Fourteen Gears" trata sobre un camionero que piensa amor especial mientras usa los "14 engranajes" de su Peterbilt (una marca de camiones de gran tonelaje) para "volver a tenerla” en sus brazos. Es una canción llena de nostalgia sobre conductores de esos trucks de 18 ruedas. Siempre hay que dar gracias por buenos amigos, el amor verdadero, los pueblos pequeños, la cerveza fría y un par de botas gastadas. Eso hace la Josh Abbott Band en su nueva canción, “The Luckiest”, donde tiene tiene un buen recuerdo hacia “King George”, es decir George Strait, por seguir haciendo discos de country. La banda de Lubbock afincada en Austin ha superado con creces la personalización en Josh Abbott y ha dirigido sus esfuerzos a profundizar en los sonidos del Lone Star State, sin perder la conexión con la tradición. Sus canciones suelen tener una carga de positividad, como en este caso, y detallan la cotidianeidad de las pequeñas ciudades de ese inmenso estado, con sus romances, sus problemas y sus inquietudes personales.

Mo Pitney viene de Rockford, en Illinois, y consiguió debutar hace cuatro años con Behind This Guitar, un álbum en el que colaboraban Morgane Stapleton y Alison Krauss. Sus inclinaciones hacia la tradición y los sonidos acústicos se salen de las normas que suele dictar la industria de Music City, aunque milite en un sello poderoso como Curb Records que tiene previsto publicar un segundo álbum a mitad de agosto al que da nombre este "Ain't Lookin' Back", subrayando que tiene una habilidad especial para seleccionar canciones que pueden llevar la firma de expertos en la materia. American Jackpot/American Girls es la nueva propuesta de Reckless Kelly, tomando el revelo a Sunset Motel de hace cuatro años. La idea era escribir sobre Estados Unidos y su gente, pero con la intención de no hacer himnos ni pontificar sobre ello. Lo que iba a ser un álbum sencillo se convirtió en dos ofertas gemelas con un total de 20 canciones en el que se encuentran historias de personajes convincentes, arrepentimientos y remordimientos, amores y rupturas. Todo con un robusto sonido envolvente. “Lonesome On My Own”, que forma parte del segundo de los discos, siendo una de las canciones que se les acumularon a los hermanos Braun en aquellas sesiones, manifiesta formas más amables de la banda de Idaho afincada en Austin. La otra parte de la “familia Braun” se reúne en Micky & The Motorcars, con Micky y Gary Braun como pilares fundamentales de un grupo que se marchó a Nashville para ser producidos por Keith Gattis, aunque persisten en su rock enraizado tras 17 años en la carretera y tomando el pulso vital al resurgir de Austin como capital del mundo de la música en directo. El tema que ha dado nombre genérico al registro, compuesto entre Micky Braun y Bruce Robison, es el encargado de culminar el proyecto, celebrando los altibajos de cualquier aventura para lograr algo importante. Es el viaje de unos contadores de historias cotidianas y reales. Desde que supimos de la creación de The Panhandlers, comentamos que el supergrupo que forman William Clark Green, Josh Abbott, John Baumann y Cleto Cordero estaba concebido para grabar un álbum de versiones en homenaje a los Flatlanders, el legendario trío de los legendarios Joe Ely, Butch Hancock y Jimmie Dale Gilmore. Sin embargo, aquel proyecto derivó hacia un disco de temas originales tras reunirse en la tejana ciudad de Marfa, para componer. Todas las canciones tienen que ver con el panhandle de Texas, un lugar poco agradecido que suele pasarse por alto. Y todas ellas están compuestas por los cuatro miembros de los Panhandlers, excepto la que sirve de apertura, "West Texas in My Eye", escrita por el compositor y fotógrafo de la ciudad de Lubbock Charlie Stout como una evidente fantasía escapista y en la que los integrantes del cuarteto se reparten el protagonismo vocal. Esta semana ocupa la primera plaza de la Texas Regional Radio Report la Chad Cooke Band con “Four Minutes”, un tema perfecto de two step para llenar las pistas de cualquier honky tonk… en el momento oportuno. Hablamos de un cuarteto originario de Houston que se mueve en los terrenos de la Red Dirt Music desde Oklahoma City hasta San Antonio, con guiños a los buenos tiempos de Brooks & Dunn y procurando no olvidar las armonías vocales que caracterizaron a los Eagles. Debutaron hace cuatro años con su álbum Easy Way Home y en la primavera de 2018 se marcharon a Nashville para proseguir su andadura que ha dado como resultado un segundo trabajo, Risk It All, del que forma parte es “Four Minutes”. Aquellos que siguen insistiendo en que el country clásico ha desaparecido con las nuevas generaciones, debería echar una escucha a Elijah Ocean. Para recuperar la tradición y las maneras de los buenos y viejos tiempos puede bastar recluirse en un estudio casero de Los Angeles, a donde llegó desde su Maine natal, y sacar a la luz las esencias del honky tonk para su quinto álbum en solitario, Blue Jeans & Barstools, que parece reclamar la vuelta de los mejores sonidos de la californiana Bakersfield y el espíritu de los legendarios forajidos de la escena campera. "Cleaned Up in Vegas", uno de los cortes más sobresalientes de un álbum bien equilibrado y altamente recomendable, muestra la desgarradora angustia del drogadicto. A primeros de abril, Charley Crockett nos sorprendió con 30 temas de baja calidad sonora que tituló Field Recordings Vol. 1 y ofreció para descarga digital. La grabación fue realizada junto a Kyle Madrigal en la granja que este posee en Mendocino County, al norte de California. Estaba formada por canciones propias y versiones de otras muy enraizadas en la tradición. Pero el artista sigue fiel a su inquieta personalidad y ya podemos escuchar la canción que dará nombre a su nuevo álbum de estudio, Welcome To Hard Times, previsto para el 31 de julio y donde mantiene el equilibrio entre country clásico, rhythm and blues y ciertas pinceladas de spaghetti western. Como viene haciendo en los últimos tiempos, este tejano nativo de San Benito está filmando y dirigiendo una serie de videos que el mismo protagoniza a lo largo de paisajes desérticos. Es la tierra que describe su sonido… y viceversa. Cody Jinks también ha publicado nueva música en estas fechas, la primera novedad desde que el pasado año nos regalara dos álbumes como The Wanting y After The Fire. La resistencia y la esperanza en días mejores suele ser el mensaje más habitual en tiempos de cuarentena, aunque el tejano haya tomado un camino diferente con "Watch the World Die", un tema melancólico que va adquiriendo dureza antes de que todo desaparezca. La solución es mantener el dedo corazón bien erguido y hacer el amor toda la noche. El toque esperanzador llega en versos como "Por la mañana, si estamos solo nosotros dos, sabremos que lo hemos hecho bien". Otro nombre que añadir a la lista de artistas con personalidad suficiente para conquistarnos es Kylie Frey, que creció compitiendo en el circuito del rodeo y componiendo desde muy corta edad. Sus padres apoyaron sus inclinaciones musicales y tras actuar en distintos locales de Texas y su natal Louisiana (ella nació hace 25 años en Opelousas, la tercera ciudad más antigua de aquel estado), debutó a finales de 2014 con su álbum Cinderella Dreams, del que destacó un tema propio editado en single, “The Chase”, logrando una importante repercusión en las emisoras de country tejanas. Hace tres años nos hicimos eco de su dúo con Randy Rogers en “Too Bad”, una balada impecable para un EP que produjo Paul Worley, seguido hace unos meses por “One Night in Tulsa” y ahora llega “Spur Of The Moment”, una de las canciones favoritas en las emisoras tejanas… y en TOMA UNO. Caitlin Cannon es puro desparpajo y optimismo. Nativa de Alabama, con un padre que abandonó a la familia, una madre peluquera esforzada por sacar adelante su hogar y un hermano en prisión, celebra con descaro y orgullo su situación y la de quienes sobreviven a los malos momentos con esfuerzo. Y lo hace en "Going For Bronze", el tema de apertura de su última novedad, un álbum con el explícito título de TrashCannon. Pero entre bravuconadas y cierto desapego emocional, Caitlin confiesa su alcoholismo y alguna que otra adicción para ahogar la realidad de una mala relación, cobijada en el rockabilly, algunos acentos punk y el llamado countrypolitan. Es la mejor manera de reflejar su soledad, frustración y el desafío ante situaciones injustas. Regreso a las raíces y a las botas. Vuelta a los sonidos originales y a las tradiciones que han construido un género tan particular como el country. Ese es el camino recorrido por Tessy Lou Williams, sobre cuyo álbum de debut, de título homónimo, llamábamos la atención hace varias semanas. Criada en Willow Creek, una localidad de alrededor de 210 habitantes en el estado de Montana, pasó por la tejana Austin y ha terminado en Nashville, de donde partieron en origen sus padres, también músicos. En la Music City ha contado con el apoyo de artistas como Ashley Campbell, Carl Jackson, Larry Cordle o Jon Randall. “Your Forever Will Never Say Goodbye” es una de las grandes canciones de este álbum, pero no la única. Ha estado casi una década al frente de Tessy Lou & the Shotgun Stars, pero ya era el momento de lanzarse en solitario a las aguas del country clásico, con evidentes influencias de Lee Ann Womack y Patty Loveless. En su disco de título homónimo Tessy Lou Williams despliega tonalidades de honky tonk, baladas enternecedoras y un respeto casi secular por la tradición, como se hace evidente en "Someone Lonely", la canción de su padre, una robusta balada recubierta por el Steel guitar de Mike Johnson. Su debut supone uno de los más apasionantes activos del presente de una country music que está recuperando su razón de ser desde la independencia de sus nuevas propuestas, al otro lado de las grabaciones sobre-producidas que atiborran las emisoras de radio fórmula del género. Convertir una súplica en una promesa es el milagro que Whitney Rose consigue en “Don’t Give Up On Me”, la canción que hoy cierra nuestro tiempo de radio y nos emplaza para la próxima semana. La artista canadiense, afincada y afianzada en Texas, nos ha hechizado a todos con un trabajo tan solvente como We Still Go to Rodeos, un último trabajo con un arsenal emocional evidente Escuchar audio
Han pasado exactamente 25 años desde que llegara a España el New American Music Tour '95. En la repleta sala Aqualung de Madrid actuaron el 26 de abril de 1995 Marty Stuart , Trisha Yearwood y Emmylou Harris& The Hot Band, con Rodney Crowell, Albert Lee y Glen D, Hardin entre sus miembros. Cuando Marty Stuart visitó por primera vez España junto a los Rock And Roll Cowboys estaba a punto de lanzar su primer disco de grandes éxitos tras el lanzamiento el año anterior de “Love And Luck”, el octavo de su carrera y al que daba nombre genérico este tema compuesto junto a Bob DiPiero y donde Vince Gill y Ricky Skaggs estaban en los coros vocales. Marty Stuart fue otro de los artistas que también pudo haber visitado nuestro país el pasado año. Trisha acababa de editar su quinto álbum,Thinkin' About You, que había sido anticipado con el single “XXX's and OOO's (An American Girl)" de su amiga Matraca Berg, la mujer de Jeff Hanna de la Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, con la que llegaría por segunda vez a la cima de las listas de country contando la historia de una joven que aún firma sus cartas con “besos y abrazos” pero que trabaja duro por triunfar en un mundo de hombres. A lo largo del tema había referencias a Patsy Cline y Aretha Franklin. Emmylou Harris había actuado el año anterior en Vitoria junto a los Nash Ramblers y cuando llegó a Madrid lo hizo acompañada por la Hot Band, con Rodney Crowell, Albert Lee y Glen D, Hardin en el grupo y una mirada a las grandes canciones que la encumbraron. El año anterior, su sello discográfico había lanzado el recopilatorio Songs of the West, que tuvo mucho que ver con el repertorio que aquella noche escuchamos en la sala Aqualung. Como ejemplo está “Even Cowboys Get The Blues”, una composición de Rodney que había formado parte de Blue Kentucky Girl en 1979. Resulta curioso que tras presentarse junto a la Hot Band en aquella gira, a su regreso publicara el álbum Wrecking Ball, que supuso un cambio de rumbo en su carrera, abandonando sus formas habituales. Todos aquellos encuentros con la tradición fueron reconvertidos por Daniel Lanois en otras propuestas sonoras. Cuatro años sin publicar un nuevo trabajo y ahora Reckless Kelly están a cuatro semanas de editar no uno, sino dos álbumes que han titulado American Jackpot y American Girls. El primero de ellos hace un repaso por las personas y la vida cotidiana de la parte más rural de Estados Unidos y entre las canciones incluidas está "I Only See You With My Eyes Closed", que conserva el espíritu outlaw de la banda con raíces en Idaho del que conservan un poderoso individualismo. El quinteto con base en la tejana Austin tomó el nombre de Reckless Kelly de una película de 1993 del actor y director australiano Yahoo Serious. The Golden Roses vienen de Austin, y han aprendido todo lo que saben destilando honky tonk y Ameripolitan music con su EP The Usual Suspects y su álbum Terlingua Graveyard. La continuación viene de la mano de Smell The Roses al que da nombre genérico esta canción sobre lo ya vivido y las decisiones tomadas, donde el cuarteto ha contado con Zachary Moulton de Mike and the Moonpies en la Steel guitar. Se trata de un trabajo producido por Adam Odor en los Yellow Dog Studios de Wimberly, en Texas, que sigue las rodadas de unas influencias musicales que abarcan country, Western swing, un toque de rock 'n roll y una pizca de bluegrass, rememorando lugares tan legendarios como el Broken Spoke o el Ginny’s Little Longhorn Saloon, al lado de cuyo escenario aprendieron casi todo lo que saben. Un disco equilibrado entre baladas solemnes y desgarradoras, hasta temas festivos y despreocupados. Pero siempre apuntando al Oeste. Homeland Insecurity, el último álbum de Flatland Cavalry, deja la sensación de haber estado reunido con tus viejos amigos poniéndote al día. Son 11 canciones cercanas, que cuentan experiencias vitales, llenas de realidad cotidiana y algunas preguntas que están buscando respuesta. "Come Back Down", es una invitación a volver a casa tras estar demasiado tiempo fuera. Cleto Cordero, el líder de la banda, compuso el tema tras visitar a sus padres tras mucho tiempo sin verlos. Tras un disco tan brillante como fue Humble Folks de hace tres temporadas, este nuevo proyecto tiene muchos detalles distintivos, explorando nuevas fórmulas y puliendo los detalles para completar un disco muy afinado que sitúa a Flatland Cavalry muy cerca de los mejores nombres de la red Dirt Music. También han seguido grabando junto a Bruce Robison en The Bunker y "Sober Heart Of Mind" es otra de las muestras que, además ha formado parte del segundo volumen del proyecto The Next Waltz que sigue adelante con una vitalidad envidiable. Josh Abbott, William Clark Green, Cleto Cordero y John Baumann se han unido rindiendo homenaje a la tejana Lubbock. Son cuatro de los grandes talentos de la Red Dirt Music que reivindican la vuelta a las raíces y el orgullo de ser de dónde son. Inspirados, además, en los míticos Flatlanders de los que hablábamos hace un instante. “West Texas In My Eye” es la canción que abre el álbum de debut de este supergrupo tejano conocido como The Panhandlers gracias al apoyo fundamental de Bruce Robison, que los ha incorporado a su proyecto audiovisual The Next Waltz y le grabó en The Bunker en Lockhart, Texas, con métodos exclusivamente analógicos. Love In The Midst Of Mayhem es el más reciente álbum digital de Joe Ely, que no ha querido esperar a que pase esta pandemia para expresar sus sentimientos más íntimos volviéndose hacia su oficio. En un principio iban a ser un par de canciones, pero se fueron sumando nuevas composiciones que se ajustaban al momento buscando en notas de viejas canciones que no habían encontrado acomodo en discos anteriores y el amor, desde distintos puntos de vista, se convirtió en el protagonista de cada una de ellas. Su origen abarca casi cinco décadas. La intimidad y la calidez son el rasgo común de estos 10 temas en el que los músicos son especialmente sensibles y la producción es simple aún sin perder la brillantez. Esta vez el músico de Amarillo se ha inspirado en la actualidad, sensibilizado por las personas sin trabajo, sin alimentos, por los trabajadores sanitarios y por todos los que ponen sus vidas en peligro para hacer frente a esta pandemia, expresando la belleza del espíritu humano: sacrificio, unión y compartir. Joe Ely es el autor de todas las canciones excepto de "All You Are Love", compuesta con sus amigos Butch Hancock y Jimmie Dale Gilmore de los Flatlanders. Es una manera preciosa de recordarnos lo que es importante. Con unas armonías imponentes de Courtney Patton Eady “Let Me Hold You Tonight” es un casi un vals que Deryl Dodd escribió tras una ruptura cuando tenía 19 años con la sincera candidez de la edad. Solía tocarla en acústico a finales de los 80 y principios de los 90, pero no decidió grabarla hasta el verano pasado. En 1991, su buena amiga Nancy Davis Clark le pidió que abriera el concierto que Dean Dillon iba a dar en Cody's, su club en la tejana Waco. Entre las versiones que interpretó en aquellos 20 minutos cantó “Let Me Hold You Tonight”. Dean Dillon quedó impresionado con aquel tema y le invitó a que fuera a verle a Nashville convirtiéndose en su mentor. Fue el despegue de la carrera de este tejano de Dallas que ha regresado a sus raíces más profundas y que anticipa el álbum que continuará a Long Hard Ride, editado hace tres años. Randy Rogers y Wade Bowen han dado continuación a su proyecto conjunto Hold My Beer con un segundo volumen de estudio, previsto para editarse a primeros de mayo. Al contrario del primero de aquellos discos, en esta ocasión se han cuidado todos los detalles, esforzándose en que los matices diferenciadores con respecto a sus carreras individuales sean evidentes, para lo cual han contado con el apoyo en la producción del experimentado Lloyd Maines que ha conformado un trabajo emocionante, como destilan canciones de la categoría de “Rhinestoned”, que la pareja dice que es su favorita del álbum. En Hold My Beer Vol. 2, Randy Rogers y Wade Bowen ha incluido 10 nuevas canciones procurando dar al conjunto del disco una significación mucho más personal y profunda. Para terminar el programa de hoy, emplazándote para la semana que viene en la sintonía de Radio 3 el sábado y el domingo a la 1 del mediodía, las 12 en Canarias, la mejor despedida en forma de canción es la que ha dado nombre a este proyecto que ya va por su segunda entrega.

In this episode of the podcast we visit with singer-songwriter and front-man of Texas band, Flatland Cavalry, Cleto Cordero. Having never met or talked to Cleto before this interview, the first thing that jumped out to me was just how genuine, humble and appreciative he is for his life and career in music. Cleto explains how his performance at a talent show when he was in his teens, and the reaction of his listeners, put him on the road to be a professional musician. Even as Flatland Cavalry’s popularity continues to rise, Cleto’s ability to remain firmly grounded and humble is equally impressive. In the interview we also talk about his initial meeting and eventual romance with now-fiancé, singer-songwriter Kaitlin Butts. Cleto is also a part the west Texas all-star group, The Panhandlers assembled by Josh Abbott. So, without further ado, enjoy the episode!

So imagine this: You’re a 15 year-old with musical aspirations. Fatefully, your sister marries a guy who is in a band, tours on a bus, and is cool if you ride along every summer until you graduate high school… IMO, that’s the hand of God at work. This is the actual life experience of Texas singer-songwriter, Charlie Shafter. In this episode you will quickly realize just how likeable of a guy Charlie Shafter is. Shafter’s musical stylings are certainly influenced by other artists he mentions in this interview such as James Taylor, Neil Young and Bob Dylan. To Yours Truly, Charlie’s music is a nice breath of fresh air in a in the Texas Country – Red Dirt Music world that is sometimes a bit over-run with songs following “way too familiar” of themes. (Beer drinking, skirt chasing, unrequited love, etc.) Charlie and his side-kick, multi-instrumentalist, “Starfire On the Mountain”, can be seen HERE doing what they do best together. And yes, the guy’s name is Starfire On the Mountain. You can hear all about how “Starfire” got his name within the episode. During the episode we also visit a bit about how Charlie and Starfire also produced almost 70 episodes of their own podcast years ago called “You Can’t See Us with Starfire and Charlie.” Charlie explains that their podcast was mostly about non-music topics such as conspiracy theories. Click HERE to check it out! Maybe if we get enough people to listen to it Starfire and Charlie will resurrect it! Charlies latest album, “When I was Yours and You were Mine” was mostly penned during a time in his life that can be described as highly emotional and complex. Fans of Texas Country Music will also be interested to know that Josh Abbott acted as a co-producer on the record along with Dwight Baker. Click HERE to check it out. Everything Charlie Shafter can be found by clicking HERE or by following him on your favorite social media mediums. Enjoy the episode!

THE TROUBADOUR PODCAST - The Premier Red Dirt, Texas Country and Independent Music Podcast
On this episode of The Troubadour we are joined by a husband and wife performing, AND songwriting duo, Thom Shepherd and Coley McCabe. Thom is the writer of five #1 singles for other artists - “Redneck Yacht Club,” recorded by Craig Morgan, “Riding with Private Malone” recorded by David Ball, Kyle Park’s “The Night Is Young,” Josh Abbott and Pat Green’s single, “My Texas,” and Kevin Fowler’s “Beer Season.” In total, Thom has had over 10 singles and over 100 songs recorded by artists including Easton Corbin, Pam Tillis, John Anderson, Lorrie Morgan, Colt Ford, Bucky Covington, George Jones, Trailer Choir, Montgomery Gentry, Buddy Jewell, and Cledus T. Judd. Coley McCabe is also no stranger to success in the music business. She is a platinum-selling songwriter and she’s performed numerous times on the Grand Ole Opry. While on RCA Records her song “Grow Young With You” was featured in the Natalie Portman / Ashley Judd film, “Where The Heart Is,” Her writing credits include the award winning group SheDaisy and legendary Loretta Lynn. She also starred in the feature film “Alabama Love Story.” During this interview with Thom and Coley we visit about the dynamics of working as a husband and wife duo in the music business while maintaining a great marriage. As is heard in the interview, we find out that it’s important for each person in the relationship to understand when to ride “Shotgun” to the other person, and when to be the driver. Fittingly enough, Thom and Coley’s latest record is aptly titled “Shotgun” and can be picked up at www.thomandcoley.com . Thom and Coley have also found a bit of a niche within the “Trop Rock” genre which Thom describes loosely as “people who like Jimmy Buffett songs.” The duo is now often found on show billings in tropical places with lots of sun and water! They’ve even brought a little bit of this genre back to Texas by creating and hosting the annual “Lone Star Luau” in Marble Falls, TX (http://lonestarluau.com/). Lonestar Luau 4 will be happening in February of 2020. Click on the link to learn more about it and to secure tickets! While we didn’t get a chance to visit about it in depth in the interview, I would highly suggest that for those interested in songwriting and stories behind hit songs, to follow Thom Shepherd on YouTube. He’s producing a series of YouTube videos called “Story Behind the Song” in which he interviews writers of specific hit songs and learns how the songs came to be. The icing on the top of the videos, at least for me, is to hear the songwriter perform the hit with nothing more than an acoustic guitar. Simply great stuff in my opinion!

Josh Abbott has had one of the fastest rises to the A-list in Texas music history. Since the beginning of his meteoric rise, Josh has been somewhat of a polarizing force for fans and musicians alike.

This week on The Co-Write, Josh sits down with the boys to discuss everything from where his musical journey began, to what launched his rise and how he continually tests the limits of his music both sonically and lyrically. Josh's latest release, "Until My Voice Goes Out", debuted at #1 on the iTunes music chart, establishing him as a growing force nationally, and one of Texas' biggest acts.
