Above all, the listener should be able to understand the poem or the song, not be forced to unravel a complicated, self-indulgent puzzle. Offer your art up to the whole world, not just an elite few.

The Damn Quails perform California Open Invitation

I had a damn good time recently watching these fellas put on a helluva show at historic damn Gruene Hall in New damn Braunfels, Texas. Hailing from Oklahoma, The Damn Quails play some damn good Americana music, and this is a damn good video recording to prove it. And if you’ve got any damn sense, then I know you’ll be buying their damn good record, Down The Hatch.

Damn it.

If you like Texas Music check out Summer Jam Texas in Stanton on June 29th.  Larry Joe Taylor, Tommy Alverson, Greg Reichel, and Ben Shurr will be doing an acoustic song swap.  Just CLICK on the link above to check it out!!!!

here’s another thing: quit watching talent shows on tv & go experience a band at a folk/club/honkytonk/blues/rock/biker bar..or start a band

Raised in Oklahoma and now a resident of Dallas, Gregg Reichel is the best kind of alt-country songwriter, one who enjoys both, the old-school, rural soul of Townes Van Zandt and the snotty genius of Ryan Adams

Then we got a royalty check from Ragweed for Wanna Rock n Roll so built a fence with a gate

The easiest part of dealing with the success of my music career is that that there is no success. Or music career. Or dealing. Or easy. Or.
