In true C...

A few weeks ago, Donovan had the idea of sitting down and going over some of the great Texas music artists whom decided to chase a different path in life.  There have been many over the years.  It only made sense to bring along the encyclopedia of Texas music, Brad Beheler, for the ride.  This week on the podcast, we bring you part 1 of that conversation.  The boys discuss some of their favorite a...

For the better part of a decade and a half, Brandon Rhyder has been one of Texas Music's true workhorses.  After two early releases, "Because She Loves Me" 2001 & "Behind the Pine Curtain" 2003, Brandon really hit his stride with the release of the critically acclaimed, "Conviction" in 2006.  You would be hard pressed to find another album, from any scene, that can go song for song with, "Convicti...

Susan Gibson is, and has, one of the strongest voices in our music scene.  Having penned one of the most widely known songs in music, Wide Open Spaces, cut by The Dixie Chicks, at age 21, her career could have peaked at an early age.  However, through her diligent work ethic, and a determination to produce meaningful songs, Susan has continually crafted her work with a uniqueness and determination...

Radney Foster has long been heralded as one of Texas' finest songwriters.  Growing up in Del Rio, TX, Radney's love of music began at family bar-b-ques where guitars were passed from hand to hand and songs of all genres were shared to all who would listen.  Radney tended that early flame and began his expansive career while attending college about ninety minutes from Nashville.  Radney has had man...

Wade Bowen has been a dominate force on the Texas music scene since it caught fire in the early 2000's.  Beginning his journey in Lubbock, TX, Wade used the momentum carried from building a large following in a college town to make what would become his first hit record, The Blue Light Live .  Although the road is never easy, Bowen continue to push towards his goal of being a career musician, and...

Josh Abbott has had one of the fastest rises to the A-list in Texas music history.  Since the beginning of his meteoric rise, Josh has been somewhat of a polarizing force for fans and musicians alike.  However you feel, Josh is firmly fixated at the top of the Texas music pecking order, and has no plans of ceding that position.  This week on The Co-Write, Josh sits down with the boys to discuss ev...
