Jason Boland and the Stragglers are first up.
http://www.thestragglers.com/index.php?pg=music You can listen to most of his music in the link.
Boland has been a staple and pioneer in Red Dirt/Texas Music and has a pretty extensive list of songs. He touches on subjects of alcohol, drugs, social injustice among others.
Jason Boland had a vocal chord issue a couple of years ago that about killed his career, but the guy still has pipes.
The base player is from Kansas City, always sports Royals and Chiefs caps and is a damn nice guy to talk to. Grant has a youtube cooking show.
First up, my favorite song on the new album. The Dark and Dirty Mile
Some of my favorites:
Dark and Dirty Mile
Lucky I guess
Cormall County Blues
Blowing Through the Hills
Gallo Del Cielo This song is about a mexican fighting rooster
Bottle by my bed
When I'm stoned (a Colorado resident favorite)
Gear and Dust
Devil Pays in Gold
Noone left to blame
False Accusers Lament
There are many others, but these are the ones I like the best right now.
Gear and Dust...Live with Cody Canada accoustic
This is a youtube playlist with a pretty good overview of Boland's stuff
