This week''s Americana compilation comes from the Lone Star State and is living proof that all Texans are not wide eyed loons. Having been to Austin a couple of times I can confirm that it is pretty liberal (for America).
From 2001 on the ever excellent Hightone Records label Texas Boogie - A Collection of Texas Songs it is 13 track selection of Texas related songs.
We start with Lubbock based singer songwriter Jimmie Dale Gilmore with a song about the city of Dallas.
Jimmie is followed by his close friend and occasional collaborator Dave Alvin who hails from California. Here he sings of the West- central Texan city of Abilene
We stay in West Texas as the wonderful San Antonio born Austin resident Rosie Flores singing about the West Texas Plains
Here endeth the Geography lesson.
Another fine selection. Thank you CC
