Rita Ballou joins The RTX Crew (that rhymes) each week to bring us the Dirt in Texas and Red Dirt Music. She’s not one to pull punches and remarkably she actually does seem to have her hand on the pulse of our scene. She tends to ruffle feathers but that’s only because people are paying attention. And do no...

Today during my daily check of RawHideAndVelvet.com I discovered the legendary but now defunct Red Dirt powerhouse Cross Canadian Ragweed has a box set of music hitting stores just in time for the holiday season.  The box set will contain 5 albums and 1 DVD.

They're one of the biggest bands to come out of the Texas/Red Dirt scene and even though they are no more, their music will live on forever. In October 2005, Ragweed released their album 'Garage' featuring 'a single which became their first top 40 hit on the country charts. peaking at #39.
