Odds & Ends
22 January 2008 in Blogroll, Local Music (D/FW), Music, Random, Video, You Tube, blah blah blahEvery so often I like to do a bit of hodge-podge mish-mash as opposed to a long rant or blathering. Lazy? Perhaps. Inconsiderate? Likely. Lots of juicy tid-bits? Most definitely!

I googled the name of Slobberbone/The Drams lead man Brent Best. 4 sites down the list this is what I found. Even people in far-away lands love Brent!

The new video for Ashton Shepherd‘s “Taking Off This Pain.” The 9513 boys and Chet Flippo tipped me to her, and I can’t wait ’til March 4th for the new album.

Two of my calendar marking, get to drinkin’ yearly festivals are getting their line-ups together. Larry Joe Taylor’s Festival is always unreal and KHYI’s Texas Music Revolution@ Southfork Ranch boasts an awesome line-up and promises good times for all. While its not totally a “Texas Music” festival, this annual get-together is also worth marking your calendar for.

The Ashton Shepherd tune is the free single of the week on iTunes, too.
The best “free itunes” song before now for me was when “Mr. Sunshine” by Lori McKenna was available a couple years back. I hope this publicity push will help get this song the airlpay it deserves.
Ashton Shepherd is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Her Album is going to soar up the charts!!
I really hope so too, mandee. I get nervous though since she has the nerve to try and be even a bit twangy, mainstream country doesnt seem to like that sometimes…
