Turnpike Troubadours
I’ve been listening to these guys almost non-stop this summer. I really have no way of comparing them to any other band I’ve ever heard; they have an original folk roots sound and I think that’s why they are getting so much attention. They are the new guys and no one has ever heard this type of music before which is how they are so quickly making their mark in the Texas Country Music scene. Turn on the 98.1 KVET any time between 7 and midnight (The Roadhouse) and you’re sure to hear one of their songs. Their latest album, Diamonds and Gasoline, has 12 tracks, 6 of which I have for sure heard at some point on KVET. I would imagine it’s pretty difficult to get airtime for half your record but somehow these guys have managed to do it.
