Any Texas/oklahoma Red Dirt Country Fans?

I just recently started listening to Ray Wylie Hubbard, John Prine, Billy Joe Shaver, and Jerry Jeff Walker. These guys are great songwriters/musicians. I've listened to Steve Earle for years, but hadn't encountered the others.

You can't beat songs that tell a story, often times funny, with a little bit of attitude.

Try listening to Cross Canadian Ragweed, Shooter Jennings, the Randy Rogers band and Robert Earl Keen.

I have listened to all those guys. They all are pretty good. You might listen to jason boland also very good.

I've tried CCR, but just can't get into 'em. I do like their cover of Amos Moses though (Jerry Reed fan). I think Shooter's 1st album is great, but the 2nd I used as a coaster! His 3rd I heard was kinda lame. I've listened to a little R.E.K., and it's growin' on me. For some reason any musician that goes by 3 names turns out pretty good tunes.

I'll check out the Randy Rogers Band and Jason Boland.

Here's one for ya...Drive By Truckers. I'm a huge DBT fan. Not really for everyone. Don't start out with the album they just put out. Start with Pizza Deliverance or Gangstabilly. They've got a pretty raw sound with spit in your face lyrics that tell quite a story.

i like john prine...pretty funny stuff

if you're looking for something a little darker -- check out Townes Van Zandt

I have been listening to Ray Wylie Hubbard alot, also some James McMurtry, big time protester but some pretty good songs. Steve Earle and Shooter Jennings both have Saturday night shows on XM/Sirius Outlaw Country 12.

Drive by Truckers and Cross Canadian Ragweed, both cool bands.

Good stuff here. Throw in some Guy Clark, Blaze Foley, Alejandro Escobedo

Blaze Foley, wow. Haven't heard that name in a while. He died too early that ole drunk bastard.

If you guys haven't heard, John Prine is playing in Springfield at the end of February. I think the show is at the Gillioz....
