Uncle Lucius is one of those bands that you get excited to be the first of your friends to discover. Cause then you get to make 'em feel like losers for not already listening to them. Their music has been featured on television shows like "Castle" and "Friday Night Lights." Recently the guys stopped by Radio Texas, LIVE! to hang, and debut "Keep the Wolves Away." If you missed it, here’s the recap.
Troubadour, TX is a nationally syndicated television show that "follows the lives of various singers and songwriters as they chase their dreams across the Lone Star State." The show features established artists like Ray Wylie Hubbard, Wade Bowen and Jack Ingram. But it also shares the stories of musicians working to achieve their dream, guys like Josh Grider, Matt Caldwell and Zane Williams. Last week those three gentlemen stopped by Radio Texas, LIVE!
Jason Boland was one of the guys that introduced me to the Texas, Red Dirt scene. He along with stalwarts named Pat, Charlie, Ragweed, Cory and Robert Earl really made it easy for me, a transplanted Texan, to fall in love with this music. Last week Boland stopped by Radio Texas, LIVE! and left us with an exclusive performance of his next single "Dark and Dirty Mile," and much more.
The Josh Weathers Band is one of those bands, that after hearing the first song in their set, you spend the rest of their set trying to understand why they aren't as big as The Beatles. Ok, that may be a bit of a reach. Maybe.

Last week Aaron Watson was our guest on Radio Texas, LIVE! and as always he tried to take over the show. He's always vocal about not liking "Five Questions," he purposely gets off topic and he dodges my questions like I dodged dodge balls in elementary school -- very well. Just remember Aaron, it's Radio Texas, LIVE! with Buddy Logan, not Aaron Watson. Oh yeah, we also debuted his new single "Lips."
Recently my buddy, Brandon Rhyder called in to Radio Texas, LIVE! to catch up and debut some new music. He also gave us the scoop on his soon-to-be-released new album. Check out our conversation and "Haggard," easily one of my favorite new songs of 2013.
