In several discussions about music, several posters bring in Red Dirt Music to the conversation.
In this thread, I'd like to do things a little different to help people learn about our favorite artists, and post a couple of youtube videos of their song and your personal favorite playlist of that artist.
Feel free to include your own contributions, but follow the format. Videos of live performances, and list a few of your favorite songs.
I've met a few of these guys and have had beers with some of them, so I'll share stories and nuggets that they've told me. It's fine if you have a different take of the same artists or offer a different playlist.
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
Boland might be #2 for me behind TT.
Sucks that The Bourbon Legend album isn't on Spotify. It has gems on it.
His music is just country with clever lyrics. In a just world, he is a Nashville legend. [Reply]

Other songs I like:
Bulletproof
How was California?
God Forsaken Town
Seven Nights in Eire (Not sure that one falls under Red Dirt, but it's a great song)
Nobody's Girl
But like I said, they're all pretty damn good.
There is an Irish country music singer who does a killer cover of Seven Nights in Eire. [Reply]
Coming soon....I'm also told there is a cryptic photo and message on instagram or something as well.
I sure hope there is about to be some music fire.
Also...if you're watching yellowstone, their entire soundtrack seems to be people linked in this thread. Last night was Colter Wall and Zach Bryan.
Lots of smoke nothing officially official yet. I had heard a rumor that the band was getting back together with a new front man, but I didn’t want to believe it. TT wouldn’t be TT without Evan.
Then the picture that they posted included Evan, so who knows.
Like I said, I’ll wait for an official announcement. [Reply]

Boland pours it on man. That’s why I dig it. You can fucking feel the emotion in his voice. Proud Souls is a song you feel more than hear. There aren’t a ton of dudes out there that convey that level of internal pain through music. He’s really fucking good.
Unlike the paint by numbers motherfuckers that come out of Nashville like Luke Bryant et al. [Reply]

Down Here on Earth has been on repeat for months. Just a great song.
You really feel the tiredness in Hard Times Are Relative and the longing in Telephone Romeo. [Reply]
I know its not red dirt as the dude is a Canuk but kinda dig his music. Folkie country with a tinge of bluegrass. Anyway really just wanted to bump it as I kinda miss the good old Red Dirt posts and this
thread is growing moss on the northern side.
