The traditional New Year falls on January 1. But, for Texas Music the calendar doesn’t really reset until MusicFest in Steamboat Springs, CO. Much like The Super Bowl which once sold tickets for $5 and was a television afterthought before growing into the biggest show of the year; MusicFest has grown over the past 35 years from John Dickson’s super cool excuse to get a few of his favorite songwriters together in one of his favorite towns into a multi-day, 100 artist extravaganza. Every square inch of Steamboat is populated by sponsored content. There insn’t a stage, ballroom or condo
This album has really grown on me. Theres a couple of misses but the good stuff makes up for it.
I agree Stoneykelly. There are a couple songs I’m not feeling, nor will never feel…the above video being one of them. However, there are some instant classics on here as well. Let the haters hate.
That’s been my standpoint all along. It’s not a great album from top to bottom. But, it doesn’t “suck”. I think the first 3 singles are the weakest tracks on the record (Fuzzy, Trouble Knows My Name, and One More Sad Song). Songs like Flash Flood, Speak of the Devil, If I Had Another Heart, Had To Give That Up Too etc are classic RRB songs in the vein of what’s come before.
