Red Dirt Juke Box
In several discussions about music, several posters bring in Red Dirt Music to the conversation.
In this thread, I'd like to do things a little different to help people learn about our favorite artists, and post a couple of youtube videos of their song and your personal favorite playlist of that artist. Feel free to include your own contributions, but follow the format. Videos of live performances, and list a few of your favorite songs. I've met a few of these guys and have had beers with some of them, so I'll share stories and nuggets that they've told me. It's fine if you have a different take of the same artists or offer a different playlist. Happy listening. Last edited by Iowanian; 01-13-2015 at 05:05 PM.. |

Jason Boland and the Stragglers are first up. http://www.thestragglers.com/index.php?pg=music You can listen to most of his music in the link.
Boland has been a staple and pioneer in Red Dirt/Texas Music and has a pretty extensive list of songs. He touches on subjects of alcohol, drugs, social injustice among others. Jason Boland had a vocal chord issue a couple of years ago that about killed his career, but the guy still has pipes. The base player is from Kansas City, always sports Royals and Chiefs caps and is a damn nice guy to talk to. Grant has a youtube cooking show. First up, my favorite song on the new album. The Dark and Dirty Mile Some of my favorites: Dark and Dirty Mile Lucky I guess Cormall County Blues Blowing Through the Hills Gallo Del Cielo This song is about a mexican fighting rooster Bottle by my bed When I'm stoned (a Colorado resident favorite) Gear and Dust Devil Pays in Gold Noone left to blame False Accusers Lament There are many others, but these are the ones I like the best right now. Gear and Dust...Live with Cody Canada accoustic This is a youtube playlist with a pretty good overview of Boland's stuff Last edited by Iowanian; 01-14-2015 at 10:46 AM.. |

Sucks that The Bourbon Legend album isn't on Spotify. It has gems on it. His music is just country with clever lyrics. In a just world, he is a Nashville legend. |

Had to google :
Red Dirt Music is a music genre that gets its name from the color of soil found in Oklahoma. Although Stillwater, Oklahoma is considered to be the center of Red Dirt music,[1] there is a separate Texas Red Dirt subgenre as well. Outlaw Country legends Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson have been associated with the distinctive Texas sound while the late Oklahoma singer/songwriter Bob Childers is widely recognized as the Father of Oklahoma Red Dirt music. At one time, the distinction between the two genres was sonically obvious, but by 2008, that gap had diminished.[2] |

My personal favorite, as mentioned before is the Turnpike Troubadours.
I've seen them live 5-6 times and have spent 2-3hrs talking with them at different times in a small venue after the show. They're very nice guys, even if they like to party a little bit. They've gotten much bigger now and are playing larger venues. If you like the music and get a chance, you need to see them live. These guys write a lot of their own songs. The stand up base player is a pharmacist by education. http://www.turnpiketroubadours.com/pg/music-video You can listen to 2 full albums on this link. If this band doesn't become one of your favorites, you're not wired for this kind of music. Gin-Smoke and Lies My playlist for this band is long. Gin Smoke Lies Before the Devil Knows we're dead Southeastern Son Blue Star Every Girl 1968 Kansas City Southern Whole Damn Town Long Hot Summer Days Evangeline Shreveport Morgan Street Wrecked. Honestly, they don't have a song that I skip if it comes in the rotation in itunes. Long Hot Summer Day Before the Devil Knows we're dead...live version. Not my favorite version. Every Girl 1968 Last edited by Iowanian; 01-14-2015 at 02:51 PM.. |

I'm a pretty big Reckless Kelly fan. They play a lot of different types of songs also. I pretty much don't skip one if they come on. One of the best IMO.
Other songs I like: Bulletproof How was California? God Forsaken Town Seven Nights in Eire (Not sure that one falls under Red Dirt, but it's a great song) Nobody's Girl But like I said, they're all pretty damn good. |

I love that I can see most of these guys live and diet cheap within 2 hours of my house. Stoney LaRue is a big one, but Sturgill Simpson is easily my favorite. Thanks Strongside! can't embed from my tablet.
