Man, you know I am into it. Living in SA, and being around Austin, New Braunfels, Boerne, San Marcos and the like, I hear it all. There are a ton of ice-houses around here where they all play. Then theres Floore's Country Store in Helotes, about 10 minutes from campus. All the grates have played there, Hank Williams Sr, Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Willie Nelson, all the greats, a true texas honky-tonk. Now they host the people I like; Robert Earl Keen, Charlie Robison, Corey Morrow, BR5-49, Slaid Cleaves, Gary Allan, Jack Ingram, Radney Foster, and others.
I think you'd like Reckless Kelly. There outta austin, and have a great Rock/Country fusion sound. I heard them on the college radio station, and then downloaded a few of their songs, they even do a great cover of AC/DC's "Shook me all night long." I think their best songs are; "Come on over," "Lonely all the time," and "Hottest thing in town." Damn they are good. And they play everywhere in the area, and their shows are only about 10 bucks. Saw them at Gruene Dance Hall. Awesome experience. See
www.recklesskelly.com.
Houston has a great radio station that plays them all, see
www.kikk.com. You can listen on-line to see what purpleturtle and I are talking about. You wont be sorry.
PS:TEchADPI, Reckless Kelly is playing the Tech Football pre-game show on November 17. FYI for you.
