Austin public radio station KUT has announced that it’s determined the best songs about Texas, as voted by its listeners. Asleep At The Wheel leader Ray Benson openly campaigned for votes on his MySpace page, so it figures that the group would be No. 1. Here’s the list:
“Miles And Miles Of Texas” by Asleep At The Wheel
“New San Antonio Rose” by Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys
“Waltz Across Texas” by Ernest Tubb
“Deep In The Heart Of Texas” by Gene Autry
“London Homesick Blues” by Gary P. Nunn (w/Jerry Jeff Walker)
“Luckenbach, Texas” by Waylon Jennings (w/Willie Nelson)
“That’s Right (You’re Not From Texas)” by Lyle Lovett
“Amarillo By Morning” by George Strait
Nice list, but we tend to think it leaves a little to be desired. After the jump, we offer some of our own suggestions; they, too, are pure Texas and sound great at any weekend barbecue.
