I think we are forgetting Jack Ingram, I know he is in Nashville now but he is still good. Before he got huge and started trying to actually make a living at it he was probably one of the best Texas country artist around. Not to mention one of the nicest guys I have ever met.

He did "smoke rings in the dark" didn't he? I liked that and think I've heard more recent stuff by him that I liked. Very distinctive voice.

Anything might happen to night by Charlie robison with the story included is probably one of my all time favorite songs

I like alot of the remakes of the old songs, most of the ones that Alan Jackson and Sawyer Brown do I really like but I am so far and away from listening to what the radio stations want to shove down your throat I have a xm with a microsd card slot and 8 gb sd card in it so I load it up with mp3s of stuff I like and then for new stuff I trawl my xm
BTW
one of the best remake versions of "Ghost riders in the sky" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFjqlx8eSfQ
best version

No one hear knows Todd Snyder? He writes a bunch of songs for other people, and he wrote and was singing BEER RUN before Garth Brooks stole it from him. Also anyone that knows Texas country knows the stories are great at the concerts, and Todd has some Awesome stories.

I liked Dwight and Owens on "Streets of Bakersfield" with Flaco on Accordian also his "1,000 miles from Nowhere." Of course he has a lot of great material.
