I don't know as much about Townes Van Zandt as I'd like to. Despite the great similarities in sound and sensibility between his work and that of Guthrie, Dylan, and other core members of the folkworld, somehow he never cropped up in a childhood balanced between a mother's love of the Seeger classics and a father's fandom for the singer-songwriters of his own generation. Of course, some of that is due to Van Zandt's relative obscurity during the bulk of his life - as my father notes, until his resurgence in [...]
The first time I ever heard anything referred to as Texas Country it was a song from Robert Earl Keen. That song, unlike many people's first REK exposure ( The Road Goes on Forever ), was Corpus Christi Bay . My younger brother played it for me one evening and I was hooked. I speedily acquired REK's catalog and branched out into other Texas Country artists like Cory Morrow , Pat Green , Jason Boland & The Stragglers just to name a few. I love the Texas Country scene and especially The Firehouse Saloon [...]
This weekend, Austin opens its doors to tens of thousands of people who will attend the big three-day Austin City Limits Festival . Kings of Leon, Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam, Levon Helm and many others will play ... but we're not gonna go. Tickets are a little pricey, and it's been sold out for months anyway. So we're just gonna sit back and enjoy some new music from around the Lone Star state. You can join us: pull up a chair, and it's free. The best songwriter in Texas, hands down, is [...]
( photo source ) Robert Earl Keen, Jr.: The Front Porch Song [ purchase ] My picks this week were kinda jokey, but this one I really love. By chance, Robert Earl Keen, Jr. and Lyle Lovett happened to live in the same neighborhood while students at Texas A&M. They quickly became friends playing their guitars and singing together on the front porch of Keen's rental house. This song, which they co-wrote, is one of the results of those sessions. [...]
There's a place in Austin, it's called Barton Springs. Even on these blistering hot days (temps in the 100s) the damn water is ice cold. You leap into this pool at your own risk because you're going from air that's around 105 degrees into water that's about 68 degrees. It may not seem so bad to you folks up in the snow belt but try it some time. I know for sure that my heart can't take it - not like it could when I was younger. Instead, my heart is definitely open to this Lone Star flavored [...]
Austin public radio station KUT has announced that it's determined the best songs about Texas, as voted by its listeners. Asleep At The Wheel leader Ray Benson openly campaigned for votes on his MySpace page, so it figures that the group would be No. 1. Here's the list: "Miles And Miles Of Texas" by Asleep At The Wheel "New San Antonio Rose" by Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys "Waltz Across Texas" by Ernest Tubb "Deep [...]
I always hate that dead period in American sports - the weeks between the Super Bowl and the beginning of baseball season. There's always basketball, but the local team is the Rockets - well, you see my point. Oh, there are plenty of things to distract us until the first week of April: down here we have the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, various Mardi Gras celebrations, South by Southwest over in Austin and this year only, the big ol' Wrestlemania 25 event in Reliant Stadium. (By the way, the publicist for rockers AC/DC says they are NOT [...]
First of all, let me say that I adore this week's theme, as I've always been a harmony voyeur - there's just something about two voices saying so much more than one could, lyrically and harmonically. To that end, I fear I am running out of time, as I was out of town for the beginning of the week and too busy to post - hope you all won't mind if I do a bit of a clean sweep here to share some of my other favorites... Jules Shear and Susan Cowsill: [...]
It's been a long, long time since we compiled a Single Song Sunday post. But as the year comes to a close, it is our wont to turn to the past. And tonight, as I sift through the detritus of a year heavy with transition, I find my thoughts turning to those who we will be leaving behind in 2008. Regular readers may recall that we lost our beloved cat this year . We also lost my father's father, the last of his generation, a [...]

Well I did it. I waited `til after Thanksgiving to post my Christmas mix. So far a lot of these songs are from last year (or years past), hell I even recycled the photo from last year's post. I'll do my best to update this mix as new songs appear. I love these songs. They are some of the best Christmas songs you're likely to hear and for a large part they are ones I've dug up first. So Enjoy and Merry Christmas (three weeks early). P.S. I'm so low tech it's not even funny [...]
