Im from florida and While looking for alternatives to the taylor swift, rascall **** **** on the radio all the time ive discovered The red dirt rock and roll and traditional country music movement. All I got to say is awesome! Cross canadian ragweed, Roger Creager, Jason boland and the stragglers. those are who Ive been listen' to the most lately. Love it!

 

I like cross Canadian Ragweed. Good group - my favorite is Don't Need You. Also Rodney Crowell's Sex and Gasoline is a good song.

 

Big Texas/Red Dirt fan here. In fact, I went and saw my buddy Cory Morrow just last night.

 

Literal buddy? like friends?

 

Yep, like friends. I am 100% serious.

 

Sweet. I'll check him out some more. I think the only song ive heard is "nashville blues" great song.

 

If you ever get a chance to go and see him, holler at me beforehand and maybe I can get you set up.

 

man i've been listenin to him on lastfm.com...he is awesome. Tell him he needs to come down to the north florida south 'bama or georgia area. And tell him hes got a new fan....

 

I love "beer" and his version of "live forever" and "nashville blues"

 

His song "beer" is awesome is that a cover or an original of his?

 

No, "Beer" is a cover. It was originally done by Reel Big Fish, a ska band.

Here it is:

If you want a whole bunch of Texas/Red Dirt music, send me a PM with your address and I will hook you up.

 

I love Cross Canadian Ragweed. They played a very small bar here a year or two back, but I couldn't get it because I was under 21. It would have been great. There were like only 75 people there. Check other names like Reckless Kelly, Chris Knight, Shooter Jennings, Jamey Johnson, and Justin Moore. You'll find some good really good country/ red dirt stuff.

 

Don't forget Kevin Fowler. He's more honky tonk than Texas country, but man, his live shows are fun!

 

And don't forget Robert Earl Keen....
