Rhett Miller may be the Old 97’s’ front man, but bassist-singer Murry Hammond is the band’s Western conscience.

Charley Crockett’s ‘Lonesome Drifter’ calls back to his Deep Ellum busking days 🎵⭐🎸

The former Dallasite’s 15th album is his first with a major record label.

Crockett is more of an “underground legend, somewhere between Larry McMurtry and Charles Bronson.”

I hate The Eagles. More of a CCR guy myself. But it's good to see Chris Holt get his accolades & $.

Dallas’ Christopher Holt joins the Eagles as touring guitarist 🎸 🎹 🎵

Holt is a veteran of local bands Bastards of Soul, the Slack and Sorta.

“Dallas-Fort Worth and I go way, way back.”

The Police’s Stewart Copeland is back in Dallas, deconstructing his catalog 🥁

"With the Police, Copeland was one of rock’s jazziest and least predictable drummers."

Arabic music growing up in Lebanon gave Copeland a facility for reggae beats that punk drummers didn't have.

With ‘American Primitive,’ the Old 97′s prove they haven’t slowed their roll 🎸🎤🥁

"Downside to having a hit is that it nails you to a moment in time & you can never move on from there fans only want to relive that moment in their life. I feel terrible for friends who keep making new records that are really good, but nobody wants them. We don’t have that baggage."
