October 13, 2011 Wade Bowen's major label debut is a story half told. While 'Saturday Night' is a different type of tear-in-my-beer country song -- the singer loses appreciation for Saturday nights because a girl dumped him (we assume) on a Saturday night -- it fails to go into enough detail to make an impression. It's like a McDonald's Big Mac without the special sauce. You gotta have the special sauce!
Jason Boland and the Stragglers are proving their staying power with their latest single, 'Mary Ellen's Greenhouse.' The group is No. 1 on the Texas music chart for the second week in a row, holding back hits from Brandon Rhyder and Reckless Kelly.
Move over Stoney LaRue, there's a new No. 1 in town! Josh Abbott Band, featuring legendary icon Pat Green, waltz into the leading spot on the Texas music chart this week with 'My Texas,' taking the crown from LaRue's 'Velvet.'
Stoney LaRue must be at the top of his game, because his latest single, 'Velvet,' has been sitting at the top of the Texas music chart for the last month. We bet that success feels good for the country rocker, who just dropped his new album with the same name on August 30.
As wildfires continue to rip throughout the state of Texas, destroying thousands of homes in their path, many are coming forward to do their part in helping the victims. Texas-based radio station KNUE 101.5 reports that the Josh Abbott Band are contributing to the cause by offering fans the tune 'Hell's Gate on Fire,' which is available for digital download after a simple donation through the band's website. Donations to get the song start at $1, but fans can give as much to the cause as possible.
It seems that when Stoney LaRue decided he would grab the No. 1 spot on the Texas music chart with his single, 'Velvet,' last week, he was going to hold on. For the second week in a row, the Texas artist is going strong, but now there's a new contender following behind -- and it's not Kevin Fowler. 'Hell Yeah, I Like Beer' slid to No. 6 this week, putting Josh Abbott Band in second place with 'My Texas.'
Texas country hitmaker Kyle Park is ready to spill his true feelings for his leading girl, and he's doing it all over the airwaves. 'Make or Break Me,' from his forthcoming new album with the same name, is a song that reminds us how amazing it is to have that one special person who makes our lives better. To top it all off, this new single is so catchy that it'd be impossible for it not to strike a match with country music fans.
Kevin Fowler's six-week winning streak just ended. Stoney LaRue sweeps into the No. 1 slot on the Texas music chart this week with his song 'Velvet,' pushing 'Hell Yeah, I Like Beer' to second place. That's great news for LaRue, who was No. 3 just last week, but Fowler could easily pull it back in time for next week's chart update.
On August 6, a helicopter crash in Afghanistan resulted in the tragic death of 30 U.S. soldiers, and the impact was felt around the world. On Thursday, August 25, more than 12,000 people -- including country music stars Eli Young Band, Joe Nichols and Kevin Fowler -- logged onto Twitter and Facebook to virtually honor those who lost their lives.
Texas loves its beer ... Kevin Fowler. The 'Beer, Bait and Ammo' hitmaker is No. 1 on the Texas music chart yet again this week with 'Hell Yeah, I Like Beer.' Today marks the sixth week in a row that Fowler has dominated the charts, and with a new album on the shelves, his name has gained even more momentum -- and he shows no signs of dropping out anytime soon.
