Probably very few of you have heard of Bleu Edmondson. He's becoming very well known around the Texas Country and the Americana music scenes. He writes most of his music, but his cover of The Echo(Maybe Tonight) is getting a lot of play now. You can hear it if you go to the link below.

His other hits include $50 and a Flask of Crown and one I really like, Last Last Time.

Liston and tell me if you like it at all.

Being from Texas - I am familiar with him. I really like his music. I am a big fan of "Texas Country".

 

sounds good, ive been listening to a lot of texas and red dirt country lately because of my disgust with the nashville scene.

 

Yeah, that's what got me into the Texas country a few years ago. That junk out of Nashville is ridiculous. I like Tim McGraw, but he's about the only one. I don't count Dwight Yoakum as Nashville. I like his music a lot. Other than that, it's Ryan Bingham, Chris Knight, Hayes Caryl, Ray Wylie, Bruce and Charlie Robison, Willie, Reckless Kelly, Mickey and the Motorcars, Ragweed and a flock of others.

 

I have been a huge Texas country fan for the last 6-7 years, Nashville is not country anymore. Bleu Edmondson is pretty good, I heard him for my first time about 4 years ago.

 

Yep Sonny Liston was a good fighter I liked Clay better....

Strong bands...I like the sound.
The other songs sound better than the first.
Somewhat more like rock and roll than country to my ear.

 

Liston, that must be why so few have listened.

Yes, Country Rock, Country Blues, Texas Country, Americana, it all kind of blends together.

 

Do you know Zydeco music from the state to your right?

 

Sure, and it doesn't have to be from there. There's even some down in Austin and a lot over around Beaumont, TX.

I used to really like Jo'el Sonnier when he was putting out some hits.

Not all Zydeco, but always liked the Neville Bros too. Saw them live once, in Fort Worth.

 

could you give some good songs by those bands, the only ones i have out of those are ragweed and reckless kelly

Hayes Carll is awesome. Coming to SA Christmas weekend and I am going to miss it since I'll be home. Don't forget Aaron Watson, Bart Crow, Corb Lund (Canadian but opens for Hayes in America and Hayes opens for him in Canada), Cory Morrow, Deryl Dodd, Eli Young, Doug Moreland, Randy Rogers, Fowler, Creager, Robert Earl Keen, Phil Prichett.... I can go on and on.
