Jr. Brown ROCKS!!!!, If you like him check out Pete Anderson of Dwight
Yoakam. If you like Ricky Lee Jones then check out Lyle Lovette. Check out
Rosie Flores if you were ever into the Screamin' Sirens an all girl punkish
band from the 80's. Checkout Roy Orbinson and K.D.Lang. If you like
atmospheric ambient French Canadian Lousiana Swamp Music then checkout
Daniel Lanios' -Acadie- CD
All My X's haven't come from Texas!,
