I love Reckless Kelly music! Should I be more impartial than that? --nah. Their last album 'Somewhere In Time' a collection of Pinto Bennett songs blew me away. It also saw the guys stray, successfully from their rockin' ways into a much more country/roots type of sound. 'Best Forever Yet' off the album was in my opinion the best song in Texas of 2010.
Eli Young Band have been on the verge of so-called national "success" since the release of 2008's 'Jet Black And Jealous' and it's first single 2007's 'When It Rains' -their first Top 40 peaked at a cool 34 on the billboard chart. They've enjoyed respectable but limited billboard success with 'Always The Love Songs' #11 in 2008, 'Radio Waves' #35 in 2009 and 'Guinevere' #45 last year.
"He reminds me of a white Snoop Dogg" --this according to an old Army friend of mine who listened to much more rap than country music. He's been the inspiration for many Texas artists from Pat Green to more recently Rich O'Toole. His music has explained life and chances are was probably your class's graduating song.
Last week we were lucky enough to get Granger Smith to stop in --TWICE! Once during the afternoon show on Wednesday and then he was back Saturday night for Radio Texas Live. On Wednesday I had a surprise for him, one of his biggest fans out in California -Arnold Schwarzenegger on the phone!.. Yep me and the govern-ator ar BFFs, click here to check out that conversation.
Last week on Radio Texas Live we talked with everyone's favorite Fowler, Kevin Fowler. And we all know it's always a good time when Fowler shows up, whether in person or on the phone. His new album 'Chippin Away' drops today so pick it up, after all it's first release 'Hell Yeah, I Like Beer' has been #1 in Texas for 3 consecutive weeks -plus it's called 'Hell Yeah, I Like Beer'.
Yesterday Granger Smith stopped by the afternoon show, before his concert at Electric Cowboy and I surprised him when we had one of his biggest fans from California on the phone waiting to talk to him. Yep, former body builder, actor, husband and Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger loves him some Granger Smith. Check out our convo with the govern-ator, it's after the jump.
Granger Smith who is one of the funnest and funniest (just check out his youtube channel) performers in the Texas Music scene will be back in Tyler tonight, live tonight at Electric Cowboy. You can buy tickets now at outhousetickets.com.
His show tonight prompted me to go back in our audio archives and grab the audio from that one time, when Granger broke into the RTX Studio and hijacked my show.
The guys from Whiskey Myers stopped by Radio Texas Live last week and on top of the fan favorite '5 Questions' we played album cuts off 'Firewater' it was an RTX-clusive opportunity to hear songs off the album that if you don't have, you haven't heard yet.
His new LIVE album titled ‘Live at the Pub 2′ drops tomorrow and last Wednesday Johnny Cooper stopped by The KNUE studio to sing for some of our amazing listeners. Then returned Saturday for his first appearance on Radio Texas Live.
His new LIVE album titled 'Live at the Pub 2' drops this Tuesday and this past Wednesday Johnny Cooper stopped by The KNUE studio to sing for some of our listeners. Cooper has never been one for making music any way but his own, and his new single 'Hot Mess' may not be what people would call a traditional country song, cause it's not...
Wednesday Johnny Cooper came to the KNUE studios to perform on our Front Porch for some of our great listeners, below are some pics from the show and of course it was a great performance from J-Coop, as usual. We'll be sure to get some videos posted later this afternoon, so check back.
