While this genre has its origins in Stillwater Oklahoma, in which the iron oxide in the land gives it its red color, Texas is where this music has found its home away from home. Independent Bands and Artist are free to be as original and creative as they need without the constraints of the Main Recording Labels. Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson made their move back to Texas in the 1970’s when they discovered themselves unhappy with the Nashville creative control. This music is a whole lot about the lyrics along with the tales. It’s the typical working people’s music.
