If you like classic country a la David Allan Coe, Dale Watson and some of Hank 3’s slower material then you will like West of Texas. Check out their calendar and go see them and say hi to Jerry (singer) – he’s a nice guy who’s very down to earth. Support what little country music there is out there today… I should say; Support what little REAL country music there is out there. Tell me, how the hell did Taylor Swift get the country label attached to her name? Oh yeah, big money marketing to middle America and placing her shiny CD’s in the Country section of Wal Mart. “Look at that there CD babe… It done has sparkles AND it am under that sign that says Cuntry, yeee haw… Sheee’s purdy. Hey babe, you got them cases of Pepsi, jerky sticks, and diapers loaded up?”
For all my photographer friends out there… The majority of these images were shot at a 1/20th of a second, an f-stop of around 4, and an ISO of 1600 on a 10-22mm lens. The camera was a Canon 20D, which I still have but never use anymore. The images were originally processed in Apple’s Aperture and later reprocessed in Lightroom. Then finished in Alien Skin’s Exposure. Do you care about this? Probably not but a few people ask from time to time so there ya go! Nuff said…
