I love Willie Nelson, he was one of my father’s favorite artists so I grew up listening to him, he used to sing me to sleep as a child with Willie songs, and I’ve never grown tired of listening to him. Willie was also my very first concert in 1987, so the love is deeply ingrained in my heart and memories.
This is a tough one. I love Pat Green, but probably my all-time favorite of the moment is Texas’ very own Miranda Lambert.
I LOVE so many, love Stoney LaRue as a musician, love She’s like Texas as a Texas song.
I love all these songs!

I would say Miranda Lambert is my favorite Texan artist, and her song “Texas as Hell” is a favorite as well!
My favorite Texas artists are George Strait and Pat Green…..
I love all the “Red Dirt” music, also King George Strait & Miranda Lambert. Would love to have this great CD!
Please don’t overlook me, I love all of this music and I am from Texas!
I love to listen to country music!! Don’t listen to anything else & someday I hope to visit Texas!! Been wanting to do that for a long time!!!
It’s an outstanding list. Who knew so many of these icons hailed from Texas? I sure didn’t. Without question my vote goes to Lucinda Williams, and Righteously happens to be one of my favourite tunes of the great Lucinda.
Favorites – Augie Myers, Denim, Rusty WEir.
