One of my most favorite performers whom i've seen in concert a dozen times is Robert Earl Keen.
He's a Texas boy through and through and sings at Billy Bob's in Ft Worth at least a couple times a year. This song is called Road Goes on Forever and its his anthem. Everyone sings along when he starts playing it. So fun!
Next is Pat Green and his song Take me Out to a Dancehall. Pat is a San Antonio boy and has done very well for himself in the country bar scene and a few songs made it famous on the radio. We went to Gruene, Texas and had a drink in Gruene Hall which is Texas' oldest Dance Hall. So thats why i picked this song.
Last but not least the Kings of Texas Country : Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. I grew up listening to all their albums on my parents house and my grandparents house. They are legends and i never get tired of listening to them. Willie is still alive and performing here and there around the state. I saw him last year in Dallas. This song is Momma's Dont let your Babies grow up to be Cowboys
We had some technical difficulties with the linky tool today so just leave your comments and i'll still hop over to see what your choices were. Thanks so much for playing!

That last one is just classic :) Thanks for hosting!

DeleteThis is my fave day to blog. Thank you for participating on your blog.
See what happens when I plan ahead? Posts get put into wrong days, lol. Oh well, better luck next week. My Mom loved some Jennings :)
ReplyDeleteAll my fam are huge Jennings fans. My brother has all his albums framed and hung in his house.
DeleteHey at least you played along.Exactly, better luck next week! Thank you so much for participating on your blog.
If I ever get to Ft Worth I'm definitely goin' to Billy Bob's. That's a WV redneck name and you know I love me a redneck!!!!
ReplyDeleteIsnt it great a redneck name?! You come down and i'll take you there. its not far and its super fun!
DeleteYou know you're from Philadelphia when you only know one person on that list! :-)
ReplyDeleteWillie right? Who doesnt know Willie! Texas is so cool because we have our own brand of music with tons of "famous" singers here that sell out shows but they arent national.
DeleteThere's nothing like some good ole Texas country! On a side note, I work with a girl who didn't know who Willie Nelson was. I couldn't believe it. I mean how does that even happen?! haha
ReplyDeleteSeriously did you laugh at her? Exactly- who has never heard of Willie? Thats just crazy talk there! LOL
DeleteI love this idea!!! www.glitterjennifer.blogspot.com

I feel like that song is a country anthem! Thanks for linking up sweety pie.
DeleteMy sis in law loves Robert Earl Keen and raves about him. She has seen him a bunch of times in the San Antonio area.
