Songs Of Texas

I don't think Texas is ever mentioned in this song but it fits. The state has had more than its share of gifted song writers/story tellers, Nanci is certainly one of them.

 

[Purduke]

Not exaclty Chestnuts Roasting over an Open Fire, but you wanted Texas in the title so ….

 

[nwhoopfan]

She's not a native Texan but gotta throw some Emmylou in here (w/ Flaco rockin' the accordion).

 

[Steelerone]

Emmy Lou Harris singing "I'll Be Your San Antone Rose" or "Queen Of The Silver Dollar"

 

[BroadwayVa]

Can't believe this one is waiting for me to put it up! The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You ...U of T fight song.

I'm surprised it took so long to get that "The Eyes of Texas are Upon you" Fitting for this game.

 

[ThisJustIn]

Another Nanci classic: West Texas Sun

I am not technically savvy to say the least so I do not know how to post a song video but my favorite Texas tune would be “London Homesick Blues” written by Gary P. Nunn of Jerry Jeff Walker’s Lost Gonzo with a great live recording on one of Jerry Jeff’s albums.

Find the song you want on you tube or wherever else you look for it, right click and select "copy link location," come back over here and in a post right click again and select "paste." Works best if you have 2 windows open and you can toggle back and forth.

And if you get an outfit you can be a cowboy too!!

Kingston Trio. My son and I did a cross country drive about 15 years ago, singing a lot of the way. Laredo was in our top 5 along with The Gambler.

Near the top of the list of threads HuskyNan has Boneyard Rules and BY lessons. Lesson 5 is posting videos. If I could learn how to do it I’m sure you’ll be able to.

Nope. Smothers brothers.

Nope. Smothers brothers.

Kingston Trio too. I think they wrote this version. Maybe Smothers used it.

 

[JavaMan]

I'm surprised that one of our Baylor, Texas, or TAM contributors didn't squeeze this one in.

I stand corrected.

Ry Cooder from his Tex-Mex album Borderline. Flaco Jiminez also plays on this one.

This is not only the best "Texas" song but many feel is best country western song of all time! Recently moved from Dallas and don't remember a single bar not playing this at least once every night.

[Bama fan]

Just like a real Texan! Big hats, big boots, big talk!

 

[Bama fan]

Old George can sing 'em! Definitely my wife's favorite Texan!

 

[cohenzone]

I stand corrected.

I actually owned that album (maybe still have it somewhere).
