Texas Country
Texas country is country music from the Texas scene, known for strong songwriting, live dance-hall bands and independence from Nashville.
The sound mixes traditional country with folk, rock and blues, and has a rawer, live feel than mainstream country radio. It traces back to the Austin scene of the 1970s and to songwriters such as Jerry Jeff Walker. Texas has its own radio charts and touring circuit, so artists can make a career without Nashville. It overlaps heavily with Oklahoma's red dirt.
Artists it is known for: Jerry Jeff Walker, Robert Earl Keen, Pat Green, Randy Rogers Band.
