  • Texas Exile Radio are cool: they play Wilson’s Reservoir

    Texas Exile Radio is a radio managed by Padre Will. But let’s let them introduce themselves:

    Produced by a native Texan from across the Atlantic, Texas Exile Radio twangs, shuffles, whines, and rocks 24 hours a day – just like Country radio’s s’posed to do.  We’ve got your Texas Music, Red Dirt, Americana, Alt- & Indie Country.  We’ve got Honky-Tonk, Bakersfield, Outlaw.  We’ve got a touch of Southern Rock, and even a few songs from those rare Nashville types who still recall what Country music’s meant to sound like!  Tune in to hear Texas artists, undiscovered talent, and your favourite classics.  We’re Country radio like it oughta sound – but usually doesn’t.  Give us a go; it beats the hell outta stuffin’ armadillos down yer pants!

    Oh, yeh – we’re non-commercial, too.  Music just sounds better that way.

    And guess what? They added Wilson’s Reservoir to their playlist. And wrote a little something about the LP:

    Wilson’s Resevoir sends us an eponymous, self-released album of alt-country music with hints of Appalachian flavour.  The liner notes speak of lead guy Ben Wilson’s homeschool upbringing, which would normally set off a few alarm bells in my head, owing to the homeschool types I encountered back in Texas.  But, here, if nowhere else, I’d have got things wrong.  The album is, in fact, it is a very thoughtful (and darkly intense) piece of work which speaks from a Georgia background that I certainly recognise.  Coolest track: “Lemons in the Water“.

    The blurb about the LP is available on their blog.
