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

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
Chris Willman
Mon, December 15, 2025 at 7:07 PM MST

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.

Good call. They still play this relatively often on The Ranch. Hayes has a lot of good stuff and was recently collaborating with Band of Heathens - naturally called Hayes & The Heathens.

Larry's son. Has quite a way with words like his old man. Great to see in a small venue, if you can stomach the small political outbursts.

Even though Wade's a Techie, he's from Waco and his Dad was an outstanding BU golfer.
