Buddy Logan — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:59:04 +0000

Did You Catch Josh Abbott Band on Our Front Porch? If Not, Here Ya' Go [VIDEO]

Buddy Logan — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 16:59:47 +0000

Eight. If you asked me how many No. 1 singles Josh Abbott has had in row, that's the number I'd put my money on. And while as far as I know there's no reliable place online to check this (if you know of a place let me know, please), topping the Texas charts and selling out venues has become almost expected for the popular Idalou native. Last week, before heading to yet another sold out show at Coaches and Cowboys in Tyler, Josh Abbott Band stopped by our studio to perform for some lucky listeners. If you didn't make it, here's what you missed.

In 2012 he did both.
