One of my favorite magazines that I've been getting for years is Texas Music. It is a comprehensive look at music throughout the state. It has great articles, interviews, reviews, and news from all your favorite Texas musicians. It even comes with a CD in each issue. The CD usually contains some up and coming Texas artists with a couple of old-timers thrown in there as well. The magazine comes out 4 times a year. I look forward to it every quarter.....it makes for a few hours of quality reading! Go grab a copy and see what you think.
Speaking of great Texas music. Ryan Bingham's new album Roadhouse Sun is out today. Listen to it here, and then go download your faves. That's what I plan on doing this afternoon. Or even better, if you are down in the Big Bend region tonight, go check him out with the awesome Flatlanders at the Starlight Theater in Terlingua....or in Lubbock on Wednesday, June 3rd. Sorry Mike, can't make it...have fun and give me the rundown!

not to bash ryan bingham or texas music but the whole texas music scene is saturated much like the 1980s hair bands, the scene is dying; in reality i just wrote this to see how long it would take to get deleted
ReplyDeleteThom you're a good guy....I'm gonna leave this comment for all my Slovakia readers to enjoy!
ReplyDeleteactually Texas music is quite good; Tripping Daisy, Old 97s, Toadies, Waylon and Willie, Tom Waits is probably Texan at heart too
ReplyDeletei listened to that ryan bingham, he is very good, like an early 1970s Tom Waits with a Southwestern vibe, very nicely done ryan. see junkytrinkets and i can agree on some things
ReplyDeleteI get the magazine too, enjoy every issue. I also love Lonestar music magazine and Best in Texas.Good blog site, thanks for following mine.
