Favorite Texas Country Song/Singer [Archive]

It's probably no mystery who's the most famous/successful Texas Country singer- Pat Green. My favorite of his is "Crazy". Not many know it. So if you haven't heard it, go have a listen. I also love Cross Canadian Ragweed (got a sticker on my car that proves it). "Alabama" is my favorite of theirs, another good listen.

George Strait isn't Texas Country. Pat Green is pretty sweet. I like Cross Canadian Ragweed more tho. I just preorderd "Garage" this past week. The CD is released Oct 4. I can't wait.

I've heard most of them. I tried to like it, but it really annoys me. Any music with any sort of country influence doesn't appeal to me for some reason. I've always been like that.

I'm not a big fan of most country - I hate most of the modern stuff, and I absolutely loathe the "more patriotic than thou" shit that a lot of them are putting out. My favorite country singer has to be Johnny Cash though - his voice was so amazing. I grew up listening to him and Willie Nelson, and I think they are both still my favorite country singers.

I am not considered a country music fan, but I like a wide variety of music.

Texas country is a genre unlike pop Nashville, Bluegrass or old school country. It is a specific type of music, that the sound is very distinctive. Do you ever watch to Austin City Limits on PBS?

On Austin City Limits, you get to listen to artists like Willie Nelson, Bonnie Rait, Ray Charles, Roy Orbison, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Rodney Crowell, John Mayall, and B.B. King. It is great to kick back late at night, fire up a blunt and just listen to the great music. If you know music at all, you will truly appreciate how gifted these musicians really are.

Try it.

I've only heard George Strait's version. It goes:
Down in Louisiana, bayous by and by
A pirogue pole or your natural soul
Keeps you tied to a tree high tide
Beer joint lights come on
And then the crowd starts rollin' in.

Pretty soon you got stars on the water
You got stars on the water
You got stars on the water, when it rains.

That's the right one right? I love that song.

I've been the world's biggest RK fan since I first heard them on Dudley and Bob back in 97 before Millican was released. I've seen them more times than I can count and had the pleasure of partying with the guys on numerous occasions. They are some of the coolest people on the planet.

I dig CCR too, but nowhere near as much as I love RK. The cover they did of Crazy Eddie's Last Hurrah on their Live at Billy Bob's CD was awesome.

I don’t need to stay around here and see the Pat Act. I’ve read his press. It’s hard to escape it. You can hardly pass a newsstand without gagging from the thick odor of righteous offense that his biological existence has bestirred in respectable places. Pat Green is a disgrace to the legacy of Texas music. He is not fit to bottomfeed in the waters where Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt swam. Pat Green is a fratboy turd in the punchbowl of Lone Star poetry. A dumbed-down Jerry Jeff Walker would have been unthinkable, until Pat Green. Pat Green – “Pat Green” for God’s sake! – has taken a thing of gossamer beauty and visceral delight and chopped it into mass-market suckerbait. He stinks worse than peanut butter stirred into pancake syrup. But not content with being merely vulgar, Pat Green is wildly popular. He is stomping up and down retail charts and trampling precious daisies – tinier, worthier musical voices – underfoot. He’s the Borders Bookstore of country music. Well, maybe that’s outside the bounds of decency, but he is a very, very bad man.

I agree whole-heartedly that Pat Green's older stuf is MUCH better than the newer. I think he may have betrayed his fan-base by going in a little different direction. He's not a "very, very bad man" though.

As far as George Strait is concerned everyone knows he's from Texas but he's been mainstream country for some time, which doesn't fit him into the Texas Country category.

So then because George Strait's music made it to Nashville he is no longer considered "Texas Country"? Success = Mainstream?:wtf

Or was he never considered Texas Country? I spent 4 years living in California and George Strait was every bit of my home to me whenever I heard his music.

09-19-2005, 02:26 PM

I'm not sure on whether he use to be considered Texas Country because I'm only 21, and he first started making hits around when I was born. I just know what I've been introduced to by my fellow college friends, and George Strait, according to them, is not considered Texas Country.

Texas Country has more of the folk/blues/rock vibe to it than mainstream country. If you've never heard it, just listen to some of the artists that people have listed...you'll be able to tell the difference right away.

I'm gonna live on marijuana
and I ain't gonna work at all

I'm gonna find me a house in the country
and grow that shit 'bout ten feet tall

I'm gonna plant, alongside Johnson Grass
which I pray grows, a little taller

If ya slide by the house -
and the lights are out -
you will hear me hoop 'n holler

(Chorus)
Lord Jesus, I'm stoned
ain’t doin' nobody no wrong

Doin' a little bit 'a
front porch thinkin'
some star-studded dreamin'
and singin' those gospel songs

Ain’t doin' nobody no harm
livin' on a Johnson Grass farm
I'm not guilty
of a crime
I'm just havin' me a time
and waitin' on the harvest to come

When the sun, in the evenin'
slowly slithers down
You will find me in my backyard
diggin' them plants up outta the ground

Naked as a newborn baby
and carefree as your local bum
Down on my hands 'n knees
prayin' for a rain shower to come

(Chorus)

Crazy Eddie's Last Hurrah
Willy Braun

Well it sure didn't take too long
I woke up one mornin', she was gone
And the note that she wrote didn't say "Dear John"
It said, "Goodbye, sucker, I'm gone!"

She was a home-grown mountain girl
Raised in a different world
I was a wanna-be rocker, she was more into Merle
And I couldn't see it just wouldn't work

And now I'm double fisting longnecks
and grapefruit and Stoli
But I'm never gettin' over Jolie

Well I poured myself in my car
I drove it on down to the bar
But they wouldn't let me in, 'cause I ain't a movie star
So I went to the Horseshoe on Lamar

The bouncer threw me out at two
And I didn't know what to do
So I picked up the phone and I called guess who
But the call block wouldn't let me through

And now I'm wishin' for some drugs
Or a shrink to console me
But I'm never gettin' over Jolie

Well I gathered up all of my guns
And a pipe bomb just for fun
And I drove to her house and parked on the lawn
She's right, I always was a crazy one

Well her boyfriend was sure nice to me
He said, Calm down, would you like a drink?
And then I shot him full of holes from his nose to his knees
And I polished off my little sweet pea

And now I'm cryin' on my knees, feelin' dirty and unholy
But I'm never gettin' over Jolie
Now I'll prob'ly get life and serve at least forty
But I'm never gettin' over Jolie

I've heard most of them. I tried to like it, but it really annoys me. Any music with any sort of country influence doesn't appeal to me for some reason. I've always been like that.

I hate the Beatles and Elvis too. So maybe I'm just unusual :lol

Me too. :lol

I actually used to like country at one point though...but right around the time I was getting divorced and life wasn't so great, the only thing it did is make me want to slit my wrists. That shit is just too damn depressing. :lol

And now, several years later of not really listening to it...it all just sounds the same--redneck. :lol

Goliad
Brian Burns - (C)opr. 2001 - Brian Burns Music (BMI)

I am proud to be in your presence tonight,
fellow Texians, lend me your ear;
was the grace of God brought us through the fight,
and it is destiny now brings us here.

Let us take off our hats to our brothers in arms
and the chances that they never had.
We are blessed in the bounty of Texas tonight,
let us drink to those who marched that road to Goliad.

Oh, I see the toil on each weary brow,
but I know better days lie ahead
where great men will build empires from the soil
where the blood of our compadres was shed.

So let us send out our hearts to our brothers in arms
and the choices that they never had.
We are blessed in the bounty of Texas tonight,
let us drink to those who marched that road to Goliad.

For obvious reasons.

Texas Country has more of the folk/blues/rock vibe to it than mainstream country. If you've never heard it, just listen to some of the artists that people have listed...you'll be able to tell the difference right away.

Thank you. I was trying to get that across but I guess I wasn't making enough sense.

Honestly, I think there's more positive songs these days. Everybody always assumes they'll be about your wife leaving, dog dying, blah blah blah. Texas Country, as this thread is intended for once again, covers all kinds of different topics.

Pat Green concert fantastic, no surprise there...

Shooter :tu :tu

Kevin :tu

Cory :tu

The tailgating was funtastic too, they need to do that shit at more concerts...

People dancing in the middle of the sections....good times...

I didn't like Shooter Jennings that much (which reminds me, I actually need to write a review for tomorrow).

There was this band on the side stage that I really liked...I think they were called "Lost Trailers."

And you might have seen me "dancing" behind the seats in the walkway before the lawn...I was the one who couldn't dance.

1. George Strait--it doesn't matter to me if he isn't "Texas country"...he's King George--he has to make the list.

2. Pat Green--awesome

3. Rodney Crowell--fantastic singer and songwriter

One of the few good stations that I can pick up back home.

I agree. After I made a post to the same effect, I realized the person who started the thread doesn't have a clue about Texas country or any country music and decided not to waste my time.

George Strait does Texas Swing and IS Texas country music.

I know enough. George Strait is considered to be mainstream country if you didn't know. I like the man myself, so I would have no reason to put him down by saying he's not texas country.

Assumptions can get you into trouble. How can you know what a person's knowledge is by a freakin computer screen? Wake up man...
