Then of course another. Sabra over at Trailer Park Paradise credits me in part for inspiring a post regarding Songs About Texas. She missed three of my favorites, none really huge hits as far as I know. Well, maybe the Bob Wills one. Red Seagall is not well known outside of what I would consider hard corps country music and I don’t think “Sweet Mother Texas” was all that big for Waylon Jennings. Still they are all Texas songs by Texians of some note.
In no particular order here they are.

Embarrassingly enough, I didn’t know any of those offhand. Much as my dad listened to Bob Wills when I was growing up, you’d think I’d have at least remembered that one, but no. Of course, my list was pretty crazily stacked toward contemporary stuff (which is odd for me); I think probably the oldest one on the list was “Galveston”. Shows what I get for blogging starting at midnight.
Don’t be embarrassed, I’m an old fart and you’re not. From your list, I think of Galveston as a new song by that up and coming singer Glenn Campbell. 🙂
Good ones, and Red is hard core 🙂
