I haven't heard anything new on the Turnpike Troubadours. They're my favorite by a LONG shot and it's not even close. I haven't seemed to find anyone that has a full setlist that I can appreciate like theirs.

During college I loved drinking to Robert Earl Keen and Pat Green. My favorite for a while was Randy Rogers but as soon as I discovered Turnpike the others just don't do it for me. I went to Randy at the Moody Theater and I knew every song. We had a good time but man it's just not the same.

Who is putting together some good music that I can see locally?

Turnpike isn't coming back so don't be looking for anything new by then.

Max Stalling
William Clark Green
Jack Ingram is still putting stuff out

I put that guy out of my mind after lips of an angel or whatever he sold out with. It was always funny to me when he did the happy happy country country making fun of crap like that.

A friend recommended Sun Valley Station. I heard a clip of them singing "Black", a Pearl Jam cover. Sounded pretty good but I haven't looked up anything else by them yet.

Yeah, but it's not always easy to find some of their better stuff just by him

Look for the artists with original sound and lyrics and don't sing about drinking and stereotypical texas stuff.

I know that scene loves to bash on Nashville for singing too much about trucks and stuff, but Texas country and red dirt are becoming just as bad in their own way. I love Texas, but you can only sing about the state so many different times before it all gets obnoxious and starts to sound the same. Lyrics about margaritas, Lone Star beer, tacos, Gruene Hall, and comparing your woman to features and landmarks of the state have long-past run their course.

A few of my favorite local artists these days:

Cody Jinks
Hayes Carl (always a classic)
Charley Crockett
Flatland Calvary
Jamestown Revival

Have you checked out the Texas Now playlist on Spotify?

I personally have been listening to a lot of William Clark Green, Cody Jinks, and Kolby Cooper.

Feel same as you about Turnpike. I've liked all of the songs I've heard from Whiskey Myers. Very east Texas.

If you're driving through the Panhandle, the best thing you can do is listen to Joe Ely and Jimmy Dale Gilmore aka The Flatlanders.

Rich O'Toole has some good stuff out there. Kyle Park has a few out now that I like. I listen to 100.3-3 and they play current texas artists. 92.9-3 plays older texas stuff, but they feel compelled to play Pat Green every fourth song. Dude was great, but not that good.

A lot of good suggestions so far but Corey hunt band is pretty good too.

Spotify says that's my most played album of 2019. Saw them a couple months ago and became a fan.
