This band hails from Texas and they certainly have a strong indie work ethick and a sound that recalls southern rock greats like Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Kentucky Headhunters but they also manage to make the music all their own without ever sounding like a copycat. Take a look at their debut music video here, which is for the second single from the album (after "Bar, Guitars and a Honky Tonk Crowd").

Whiskey Myers is yet but another strong band to make their way through the vast southwestern bar circuit with a sound that mixes country, rock and blues and more into an interesting blend. See what we have to say about this, their latest recording.

Whiskey Myers has garnered a lot of attention in the southwest with their dualing lead guitars and southern blues and country rock hybrid tunes. Take a listen to this tune, a track from the new CD "Firewater."

Here's a new version of the holiday classic.

With her current single "Should've Been Born With Wheels" rising up the charts, Oklahoma's Shawna Russell has released "Goddess."  While it's rocking, the album has a lot of roots in country. Do these roots stand out or do they get washed away in the mix?

A critical darling, Lucinda Williams has practically owned the female 'alt-country' market for the last decade.  "Little Honey," her fifth release this decade after only two during the 1990's, finds Lucinda singing about the way true love has altered her perspective on relationships. Did this new perspective help or hinder her career?
