What Is Texas Country Music?

Some people call it "Texas Country", others call it "Americana" and some people call it "Red Dirt Country".  Whatever you call it just know that this type of music does not conform to Corporate Nashville standards.  This music commonly called "Texas Country"  is an in your face, beer drinking kind of music.  Texas Country music has its own unique sound.  It does not sound like "Nashville Country" at all.  The lyrics are cold and hard and the the rhythms are hard to forget and addicting.  A lot of the vocals are raspy and course and are nothing like you have ever heard before.

Most of the "Texas Country" artists not only sing, but they also write their own music.  The Texas Country scene started coming around in the the mid to late 90's.  In 2000 Texas Country music starting gaining popularity very fast.  Artist like Willie  Nelson and  Billy Joe Shaver paved they way for the 'Texas Country" genre.  Artist like Robert Earl Keen, Jr., Pat green, Lyle Lovett, Cory Morrow, Reckless Kelly, Roger Creager to name a few helped engulf the Texas Country scene. 

A lot of the Texas Country artists are from Texas.  There are also a lot of artists that are not from Texas, but are categorized as "Texas Country Music" artists due to the fact that they all co-mingle together and share that unique sound.  Texas Country Artists have a very strong and loyal fan base. Fans will drive hours and hours just to see there favorite Texas Country Artist(s). 

If you have never seen a live performance by a Texas Country Music Artist, then you are definitely in for a treat.  Just about any town in Texas with a live music venue will book a Texas Country Artist.   You can see these artists from Austin, to Lubbock, to Gruene, to Beaumont, to Corpus Christi, even to McAllen, and everywhere in between. 

In my opinion Texas Country Music stations are not too common.  In your bigger cities in Texas there are a better  variety of stations.  There are a lot of towns in Texas that do not even get the Texas Country radio stations.  The good thing is that you can stream the music from a Texas Country radio station website.  Feel free to browse the Texas Country Music Store where you can find a large variety of artists and there albums to purchase.
