This playlist is another one chocked full of some of my favorite alternative, traditional, and outlaw country tunes. As the name of the playlist indicates all of these acts are based in Texas. I kick things off and wind things off with Waylon. In between, you'll find the old, Bob Wills, the new, Owen Temple, the traditional, Butch Hancock, and the alternative, Michelle Shocked. Great songwriters, like Townes Van Zandt and Kris Kristofferson, are represented. All of these songs are in regular circulation on my Sansa and I hope you give them a try and enjoy them as well.
