Bruce Robison is the best in Texas hands down. No one can touch him. Buy his album Wrapped and then buy his album Eleven Stories and tell me who is better than him….
Sam Baker: Sublime greatness personified
Loved this CD, check out “Gypsy Tailwind” for more great music!
There are a lot of great Texas songwriters out there that I count among my favorites, including Guy Clark, Lyle Lovett, Joe Ely, the late, great Townes Van Zandt, and of course both Robison brothers, but my all-time favorite Texas singer/songwriter (or from anywhere, for that matter) has to be Steve Earle!
Gotta go with Pat Green
Welll, I’m a newbie to Texas songwriters for the most part. But a few years back I discovered Robert Earl Keen on a Yahoo radio channel. “The Road Goes on Forever” was the song. I couldn’t get enough of it. Most recently, thanks to some country music blogs, I’ve found Ryan Bingham, Aaron Watson and Hayes Carll.
Carll’s “She Left me for Jesus” is enough to make him tops in my book.
Chris Wall is the best, most literate, songwriter to come from the Lone Star State. Bruce Robison is a close second, but Chris is the best.
James McMurtry writes a novel worth in every song. And then there is Billy Joe Shaver, who has lived every song he has wrote.
