Willie Nelson’s annual Luck Reunion is set to return to his Texas ranch with a lineup that includes Tyler Childers, Old Crow Medicine Show, and the country legend himself.
Taking place during South by Southwest on March 14 in Spicewood, Texas, this year’s roster also includes Dawes with Lucius, Durand Jones, and John Oates, emerging artists like Madi Diaz, Victoria Bigelow, and Zella Day, Texas rock acts like Toadies and the Polyphonic Spree, and Nelson heirs like Lukas Nelson (solo) and Micah Nelson’s Particle Kid.

Wilco surprised patrons of Poor David’s Pub in Dallas with an impromptu open mic night set.
While driving to Dallas for a show the following night as part of their ongoing U.S. tour, Wilco (per Jambase) saw the posting for the open mic and decided to stop in. The group performed without multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone, but were billed on the sign-up sheet as Glenn Kotche & Friends, named after the band’s drummer.
The band’s 11-song set pulled heavily from their country-tinged first two albums, including cuts like “Too Far Apart” and “Passenger Side” from 1995’s A.M. and “Far, Far Away” from 1996’s Being There. They also delivered covers of Stoney Edwards’ country classic “She’s My Rock,” Texas native Doug Sahm’s “Give Back the Key to My Heart,” and “Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here With You” from Bob Dylan’s Nashville Skyline.

In his round X-ray specs and solar-system button-up, Garrett T. Capps looks like he’s just emerged from the farthest reaches of outer space. The San Antonio musician sounds like it, too. Since forming his band NASA Country in 2017, Capps has been working to introduce an unconventional new sound into country music, one that mixes the electronic, experimental hum of Kraftwerk with the cosmic hippie twang of Doug Sahm. Capps calls it “Kraut-country.”
Perhaps shockingly, it works. Capps’ new album, People Are Beautiful, is an urgent, inventive reimagining of Texas music.

Bob Dylan’s Infidels-era Bootleg Series won’t arrive until September, but a source close to the Dylan camp says they’re already thinking about the next one. “I hate to give this stuff away,” says the source, “but I think there’s a good chance we’ll do Time Out of Mind next year because it’s the 25th anniversary.”
Time Out of Mind won a Grammy for Album of the Year in 1998 and earned Dylan his best reviews since the Seventies, but Dylan and producer Daniel Lanois had...

Jerry Jeff Walker, the “Mr. Bojangles” songwriter and a pioneer of the “cosmic cowboy” sound that would evolve into outlaw country, died Friday after a long battle with throat cancer. He was 78. Walker’s publicist confirmed his death to Rolling Stone.
Born Ronald Clyde Crosby in Oneonta, New York, in 1942, Walker made his way south, living for a time in the Florida Keys and in New Orleans, where he took his stage name. In 1971, he landed in Austin, Texas, and became a fixture of the local music scene, where artists like Willie Nelson,...

Joe Ely has seen some shit. As a solo artist, member of the Flatlanders, and even as an employee of the circus, the country-rock raconteur has spent a lifetime on the road. He was conscripted by Ringling Bros. in the early Seventies, showed the Clash around his native Texas in 1979, and jammed with Bruce Springsteen in a Dublin stadium in 1993 during the height of Northern Ireland violence. But Ely can hardly believe the tumult he’s witnessing now in the U.S., as the tectonic plates of social change and...

Easy Rider terrifies twenty confused studio executives because they don’t understand it. Hoping to keep their jobs, they rush to hire more longhairs to make movies ‘the kids’ will see. Ex- UCLA film student B.L. Norton parlayed his way into writing and directing on the streets of Los Angeles, with new stars Gene Hackman and Karen Black, and singer-songwriter of the year Kris Kristofferson in his first starring role as a musician forced to deal marijuana by a corrupt cop. A time travel trip back to the City of the Angels circa 1971, it’s realistic and honest, and Kristofferson turns out to have terrific camera presence.

As one half of the eclectic (and eccentric) duo Nancy And Beth, opposite Megan Mullally, singer-actress Stephanie Hunt is comfortable creating under a pseudonym. It’s a trend she continues with her new solo project — Buffalo Hunt. She’ll release the debut album Play the Fool this summer and previews it this week with the song “Apple Tree.”
Hunt says the trippy track was loosely inspired by the cosmic country of Doug Sahm, the late Texas multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who, along with an influential solo career, fronted the Sir Douglas Quintet.

I saw Roky Erickson in performance for the last time on September 5th, 2017, at Rough Trade Records in Brooklyn. It turned out to be the best of the many Erickson shows I saw over almost three decades. I was not in the right space/time quadrant to see His Enduring Psychedelic Highness in his original habitat and blow-up years: Texas and San Francisco between 1966 and 1967, with Austin-born seers the 13th Floor Elevators when that band was on the perpetual edge of trouble and discovery with a frantic union of pop-song nerve,...

A director turns to Kickstarter to raise funds for music rights; a film called “Uncertain” is a certain hit; and the Festival of Independent Theatres shows off its wild spirit through August 1. It’s this week’s Texas News Roundup. Director Aims to Raise Funds for Music Rights to Music DocJoe Nick Patoski, former senior editor at Texas Monthly, made his directorial debut with the documentary “Sir Doug and the Genuine Texas Cosmic Groove,” about the life and times of Doug Sahm, “arguably the progenitor of the Austin music scene.” Though the film opened to raves at this year’s SXSW, Patoski still does not have the rights to Sahm’s music, and has taken to Kickstarter to raise necessary funds—in this case $75,000. As of this writing, he has three days left and about $18,000 to go.“Uncertain” Looks Certain to Land a Distributor“Uncertain,” the documentary about a Texas...

You just can't live in Texas/If you don't have a lot of soul
-- Doug Sahm, "At the Crossroads"
Sir Doug and the Genuine Texas Cosmic Groove is a groove all right, and a great tribute to one of Texas' greatest musicians.
Doug Sahm gave us "She's About a Mover" and "Mendocino" -- along with a zillion other songs -- and was an influential songwriter and performer who reinvented himself musically many times. He played in country bands as a child, cranked out Sixties pop songs with the Sir Douglas Quintet, turned psychedelic in San Francisco, helped put Austin's cosmic cowboys on the map in the Seventies, and ultimately returned to his San Antonio Tex-Mex roots with the Texas Tornadoes in the Nineties. Sahm wasn't just able to play any form of indigenous Texas music; he was Texas music.
Sir Doug celebrates all of Sahm's musical incarnations. Kicking off...

The key to any voyage into the twangy depths of this weekend's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival is planning.
San Francisco's annual free celebration of bluegrass (and also not bluegrass) in Golden Gate Park, now in its 12th consecutive year, has gotten so popular that shuttling between stages to see all of your favorite bands can prove virtually impossible. Instead, the best idea is often just to get there early, pick a spot near the stage you're most interested in and stay there for the long haul.
(Scroll Down For Playlist And Lineup)
While the lineup was announced months ago, the actual full schedule, complete with set times, was only released recently. Essential planning's gotta all be done Right This Very Second.
Our top recommendations are Ben Kweller, Buddy Miller, Robert Earl Keen, The Dirty Three, the Heartless Bastards, Son Volt and Les Claypool's Duo De Twang. If you're curious as to why this is exciting,...

The Strange Boys specialize in abrasive, love-it-or-hate-it stabs at greasy R&B cut with blown-out psychedelic screeches. It’s like a hybrid of Doug Sahm and Roky Erickson, and it’s a pretty thrilling mix when the Austin band pulls it off, and even sometimes when it doesn’t. So the cleanly recorded, piano-heavy Live Music is not only a shocking change in direction, but also sort of wrong; the absence of sonic violence and impenetrable murk has made the Strange Boys sound unexpectedly emaciated and bloodless. The improved clarity of Live Music isn’t exactly a surprise, given the ...

Tex-Mex meets Grand Ol’ Opry via sparkling partnership with Calexico
The halls of Americana are crowded to capacity with artists like Tom Russell, whose songwriting prowess gained him notoriety long before his performances ever did. Johnny Cash, Guy Clark, Doug Sahm, Dave Alvin and k.d. lang are but a few of the high-profile singer/songwriters whose catalogs include a Russell original (the man has been at it for nearly four decades, after all).
