    nah they're not but they definitely have a lot of southern rock in them and could easily fit in the alt country genre. i think the lead singer sounds a lot like Hank III

    Site drove me crazy when I first found it. Went through picking out like 20 albums and maybe half of them worked.

    Went there last week and picked 2 more, neither worked so I just left.

    Think I'm just going to start buying albums without having heard them first. I always feel bad when I dl one of these guys's albums and decide not to buy it anyway.

    don't get a whole lot in Atlanta. been talking with one of my buddies about sometime taking a long road trip through Texas for a few weeks and seeing all these bands since they usually only make one SE tour and not all of these bands even do that.

    not sure about Athens but Atlanta gets most of the bigger guys. Generally the cities those guys will go to in the SE includes Birmingham, Charlotte, Columbia, Atlanta, Knoxville (some), Baton Rouge/Nola, Memphis, Nashville, and Little Rock. Some of those guys will stop in smaller college towns every once in awhile but not as often. Just keep tabs at the music venues and Athens and the tour schedules of your favorite bands, that's pretty much what I do and then just mark them on my calendar when a date is announced.

    you've never heard of Charlie Robison or Brandon Rhyder? Charlie Robison is one of the all time greats, you're missing out. Not to mention the obvious Reckless Kelly and Randy Rogers who are as famous as it gets on the Texas Country scene outside guys like Pat Green and REK

    Part of the Calf Fry lineup for this year was released for the end of April:

    Thursday: Kevin Fowler, Eli Young Band
    Friday: Corey Smith, Randy Rogers Band
    Saturday: Wade Bowen, Gary Allan

    And they're releasing the rest of the artists in time. So glad I bought my 3 day pass for $30 a month ago :woot:

    What are some of y'alls favorite Pandora stations? I know we all like Texas country, but I'd guess people would like hearing what Pandora stations come with which artists, besides the obvious artist in the title.

    Lately I've been jamming these:

    Kyle Bennett Band: Incorporates more Randy Rogers than I'd like, but not bad when you're in the mood for some Bennett since I'm pretty sure its only a loop of 10 KBB songs with RRB, a little Wade Bowen, Brandon Rhyder and Whiskey Myers mixed in. I'm kind of burned out on RRB, but I know many are not, that's my only issue with the station.

    Ryan Bingham: Great station. Ray Wylie, Steve Earle, Chris Knight, Reckless, a little old Ragweed, etc. get brought in. I also get some Lucero which doesn't qualify as Texas/Red Dirt Country, but I enjoy it. Good stuff, IMO.

    Casey Donahew: Pretty decent station, but too much Eli Young for my taste. Good for a little up beat country though. Other than that its got your regular Texas country staples, RRB, EYB, Wade Bowen, etc.

    Jason Boland: I'm a huge Boland fan, was in high school when I went to one of his shows only to find out he'd checked into rehab the day before. Dude is a mess, but I fucking love his music. On his station I catch some CCR, Chris Knight, RK, Wade Bowen, Rhyder, REK and there's some "Undone" tribute to REK that gets played every couple songs of lots of Texas country guys playing REK songs. I like it a lot.

    When I'm not in mood for just a country mix I'll play the Drive-by Truckers station. It has a bunch of "southern-indie-rock" or whatever type bands, which I like, but it will also pull up some Steve Earle, Bingham and Chris Knight.

    *Note: Pandora could just be playing my ass and mixing similar music, but I have no idea how Pandora works, so don't troll me if this is all just a result of me liking the same kinds of bands.

    Always thought this was how it worked, but I have no clue either. Only time I change it off Ryan Bingham's station is to switch to Willie Nelson.

    Bingham's also has REK on it. I know this won't be popular but I don't like when Lucero comes on. I always want to like it and try and listen to it but every single time I end up annoyed and next it.

    Saw Reckless Kelly last night for the first time. Sounded great, but thought they didn't play that long, could be because their weren't that many people. I keep forgetting I'm not in Austin anymore when I go to these concerts.

    Also, people should check out Josh Grider for live performances. Studio albums don't do his live shows justice.

    Saw Cody Johnson and Kyle Park this weekend. I really liked them both before the show, and maybe even more now. Both guys were great live, and they played a lot of their songs together, you could tell they were just having a good time and really worked the crowd.

    Reckless Kelly and Granger Smith are both scheduled to be here early in April

    yeah seen them a coupe times. They put on a good show. They used to tour with Emory Quinn, who put a on a great show as well. It's a shame CDB concerts in the SE are so sparsely attended for the most part, although I wouldn't doubt there was a good showing in oxford if they played at the Library

    Played at Proud Larry's. It wasn't a sellout, but looked to close to it. Pretty much a packed house.
