Anyone else?
I love a lot of Texas music too. I'm looking forward to Wade Bowen's cd. My personal favorite has always been Radney Foster.
Wade Bowen's gonna be in Fox 29's morning show in a few minutes...
weeeeeee dooggy!!!!!
I went to see the RR band at cowboys and they definately did not bring their A game. I told a few peeps to come out and was embarrased because they sucked. I know they could have done better.
I thought the same thing when I saw Pat Green there before he sold out to Viet Nashville. I think Cowboys just blows as a venue for concerts.
When did you see RRB at Cowboys hustle? I haven't been to cowboys before, but I heard It sucks at times. If you wanna catch the band, see them out in Helotes at Floores Country Store. Thats the best place in the SA to see a Texas Country band imo. There is also Rolling Oaks Sports Bar. I've seen Pat once. It was his Pre Nashville days. It was pretty sweet.
Actually, I'd put Floore's 3rd behind Gruene Hall and Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos.
Well in the SA area. Gruene is a little too far to consider SA. I've only walked through the place one, but never seen a show there. I've heard about Cheatham Street, the birth of RRB, but have never been either. I've seen pictures and Its not what I expected.
I know people from the Reckless Kelly board who come from north of Dallas to RK shows at Gruene regularly, so I wouldn't say it's TOO far. You really owe it to yourself to get to Gruene for a show. Not only is it the coolest place to catch Texas country, but Lonestar Music.com has a brick and mortar just up the street just loaded with Texas music.
As for Cheatham street, the key word is intimate. I'd get there early if you ever go to a show there...standing in line outside waiting for someone to leave so you can get in sucks (this I know from personal experience!).
Just bought it, and I concur. Some pretty solid songs. All 12 of 'em.
Well I was just saying that I wouldn't count Gruene as being in SA. Yeah I know LSM head is there. Their CD are a little more expensive than what you can get at best buy or what not, but Its a cool place. I hope to see Chris Knight at Floores the 25.
Whats your favorite off of RRB?
country music, and by extension, Texas country music too.
Sorry to say Wade Bowen's cd did nothing for me but
^^ Hater.
^ Really? It may take a little to grow oh yeah. It has some great writer. I dig Chris Knight on Daddy and the Devil also.
Well if you want to split hairs, Floore's isn't in SA either. I'm just saying that you should check out other venues, is all. I've seen Reckless Kelly so many times in so many places I've lost count. And I've never seen a bad show! Gruene is my favorite place to see any band. One of the most unbelievably killer shows I ever saw there was Storyville just before they broke up. Malford Milligan jumps up and down a lot when he's performing and he kept almost braining himself on the low ceiling up on stage.
As for Randy Rogers' new cd, it's all good. I like every song on it. This being their first "major label" release, I was afraid the edges of Viet Nashville suckitude were going to creep in like Pat Green's Three Days, but I was pleasantly surprised.
^Yeah. I guess I need to catch a show at Gruene then. Never heard of Storyville... hmm. This was RRB second release on a "major label" Just A Matter of Time was released on Mercury also. Things seem to be going well for them. The CD debut at number 3 on billboard country charts.
I shoulda known that!
Storyville was more of a blues/rock thing. Still worth a listen, though.
