Four miles north of Pryor, Oklahoma, along Hwy 69 on the fabled Rocklahoma festival grounds, is the premier Red Dirt, Country and Americana music and camping festival known as Born & Raised. In only its third year of production, the line-up continues to dazzle with top names in the genres. Each year, the dates have moved around a little in the month of September with this year’s festivities running September 13-16. The week provided beautiful weather – dry and mostly sunny the entire time. It was even a bit cooler than I remember from my past attendance which was most welcoming.
So, what do you do if you are a Texas country supergroup and want to put out a better album than your last? You do just that!
The Panhandlers (Josh Abbott of The Josh Abbott Band, William Clark Green, John Baumann, and Cleto Cordero the front man of Flatland Cavalry) got after it again. March 3rd they will be releasing another ode to their home and stomping grounds, west Texas, with Tough Country.
15 years into his music career, William Clark Green found himself turning 35 and suddenly forced off the road by the pandemic. Like so many other artists he took that time to take a hard look at what he was doing and re-evaluate everything. “It’s like, ‘Where am I at in life? Where do I want to be? Where did I think I would be?’ Not being able to work [during the lockdown], I had a lot of time to sit and think about myself, and what’s really locking me down,” Green says. The result of that self-scouting is Baker Hotel, his sixth studio album (out on March 28 and released on his own Bill Grease Records label).
