Some days have a soundtrack. For me, 9/11/01 will always sound like Jeff Buckley’s “Hallelujah.” I played it on repeat that night as the images crossed a muted TV, trying to make sense of the impossible. 25 years later, it still takes me back. We remember.

Ryan Adams filmed “New York, New York” just days before 9/11, the Twin Towers still standing behind him. A love song to a city, accidentally turned into a time capsule. 25years later, it carries a weight it was never meant to. youtu.be/hmHgY_J63Ik?is=rSxH…

“Let the English play Hamlet…I’ll play Lonesome Dove and Augustus McCrae.” - Robert Duvall We posted this when Duvall passed away earlier this year. It’s time to reshare in light of the news of this Netflix remake. No other person can portray Augustus McCrae. Leave it alone.

We lost Charlie Robison three years ago today. His impact, legacy and influence grows deeper with each passing day. He is missed, but the music will live on forever.

Hey @gordonkeith —please use your considerable powers and Hollywood connections to shut this down. A travesty.
LONESOME DOVE, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Western classic by Larry McMurtry, is coming to Netflix as a new series from East of Eden showrunners Zoe Kazan and Jeb Stuart.

This is a terrible idea. You can’t mess with perfection. Leave the greatness of the book and the 89 series alone. The faces you make when they’re tarnishing a legacy.

September 1. Dove season. For a whole generation of Texans, that means coolers in the truck, sunflower fields, old friends gathering back up and…singing along to Pat Green’s “West Texas Holiday.” Some songs don’t just remind you of a season. They are part of the calendar.

September 1 in this part of the world means dove season. And few songs have ever captured that world like “The Bird Hunters”…the dirt roads, the fields, the guns, the old friends, the woman that hangs over everything. It’s classic Felker.

10 years of The Co-Write. 169 episodes. A ton of Texas Music. An unreasonable amount of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame talk. And John Baumann somehow became our most frequent guest. We’re celebrating it today with a live anniversary pod — 2 PM at Finn MacCool’s in Fort Worth.

I’m really okay if my feed never goes back to normal. It’s not doom-scrolling it’s Dolly-scrolling.

We just met Tony Romo and gave him 25K after chatting with him online. He said he’s been working out with Daejon Love and is making a comeback after the DWI arrest.

Wasn't Whitney Houston singing this song the greatest cover of this song?

Back in 2011 at The Kessler, Josh Weathers covered “I Will Always Love You” and changed his life. That one Dolly Parton song took him to inaugurations, the Grand Ole Opry and helped fund charitable work around the world. Arguably the greatest cover ever captured in Texas.

Dolly Parton was more than a star. She was one of the great songwriters, voices, and spirits country music has ever known. An icon. From “Jolene” to “I Will Always Love You,” her songs became part of people’s lives, and so did her heart. Rest easy, Dolly.
