Kimberly Dunn’s smile and laugh are infectious. But that won’t get you too far as a musician. Good thing for her, so is her music. Last week the recent Texas A&M grad stopped by Radio Texas, LIVE! to hang out, sing and debut her new single “Common as the Rain” and that’s exactly what we did.

Brett Eldredge, ‘Don’t Ya’ – Song Review
Brett Eldredge is a country newcomer with more talent than fame, but the latter may catch up to him after his new single ‘Don’t Ya’ finishes its radio run. The Illinois born-and-raised singer does all of the little things right on this tightly-produced cut from a long-promised debut album. We’re never blown away by his soulful voice, but we’re made aware of what he’s capable of by the end of a fir

You don’t need a late afternoon cup of coffee to get you through a long work day. Just turn up Lucas Hoge’s new song, ‘Do What Makes You Feel Good.’ The ready-made smile surfs along a funky Caribbean guitar riff, providing a three minute-long (and some change) vacation.

This Week in Texas Music Tweets
Our good friend Rita Ballou takes the time to collect the wittiest, most topical and sometimes very random tweets each week from the Texas scene. Then, after she gathers them up, I steal ‘em. And that takes us to right up, to right here. Check out “This Week in Texas Music Tweets,” including a “thank you” tweet from Randy Rogers, a patriotic one from Bart Crow, and it wouldn’t be a true “T.W.I.T.M

We’re all getting pretty pumped for the new live Curtis Grimes album “Live from the Parish.” If you’re not yet, to help get you there, today the Grimes camp released a teaser video. Curtis says he excited to have a new album, but even more so about it being a live album the reason being, “I felt like it would represents how we sound as a band right now.”

Craig Campbell, ‘Outta My Head’ – Song Review
Craig Campbell tries on a more contemporary sound with his new single ‘Outta My Head,’ a song about getting over a lover who won’t leave you alone even though she hasn’t called in quite some time. By leaning away from traditional, the singer aims to please more fans than his last two singles — the edgy ‘Fish’ and a middle finger to bill collectors called ‘When I Get It’ — but the result is a nonde

One album and two singles into a career may be a little early to go throwing around “the next best thing” but it’s not stopping me. And while there are certainly a few bands you could say that about, not many have experienced the radio play and success The Damn Quails already have. Both of their singles “Fools Gold” and “So So Long,” went Top 5 on the Texas charts. Last week the guys stopped by R

… In their new video. Yes, the headline was misleading, I know and I apologize. Now get over it. The Randy Rogers Band have released a preview of the video for their new single “One More Sad Song,” and it looks pretty intense.

If you like real, traditional country music, and if hard core boot scootin’ is your thing –  Jon Wolfe is your guy. Jon’s quickly becoming known as a one of the few purists in the Texas scene, well and also for putting out great music. And this week Jon Wolfe lands our RTX Sunday Video.

Thomas Rhett, ‘Beer With Jesus’ – Song Review
No one is going to pull out the calendar, but if Thomas Rhett was legally old enough to enjoy a ‘Beer With Jesus’ when he recorded the song, it wasn’t by much. What matters is whether or not the Georgia born singer is polished enough to carry the poignant lyric.

Reckless Kelly is easily my favorite band — from Idaho — who live in Texas — named after an Australian outlaw. But seriously, they’re pretty great. If you’ve ever pondered the difference between the Nashville and Texas scene, last year front man Willy Braun gave a great interview with Taste of Country, where he perfectly explained it. Give it a read.
