One of my old favorites. A Nancy Griffith tune sung by Willie Nelson and Emmy Lou Harris. Love the line about this the only place on earth bluebonnets grow.



I'm not familiar with the song but that is really good

Guy Clark. IMO one of the top 2 or 3 songwriters in the Texas music genre. So many great songs - hard to decide which one to post. For this thread it has to be one with a Texas Chili Parlor reference

And a great song about Dallas from Jimmy Dale Gilmore from the Odessa Tapes.

Yeah, this is a classic Waylon tune, but it's fun to see a different take. The Stones in Zilker Park. You gotta give 'em credit for trying and having Mick say that Bob Wills is still the king.

Joe Ely, Texas Country-Rock Hero Who Grew His Fan Base Touring With the Clash, Dies at 78

Joe Ely, the singer-songwriter who helped drive a new wave of Texas-based music that united rock and country fans in the 1980s and beyond, died Monday. The cause of death was complications from Lewy Body Dementia, Parkinson's disease and pneumonia.

An announcement from the family said that Ely died at his home in Taos, New Mexico, with his wife and manager, Sharon, and daughter, Marie, at this side.

Ely had announced his diagnosis of Lewy body dementia and Parkinson's in a Facebook post on Sept. 9, "not to dwell in hardship, but to bring understanding, awareness and hope through the healing power of music," he and his wife said in a statement at the time.
