He is on is way to carving his path singing along side of many artist both old school and on the rise, such as Ryan Bingham, Stoney Larue, Billy Joe Shaver, The Great Divide, Wayne Mills, Jason Bolland, Hayes Carll, Charlie Robinson, to name a few. Thus the foundation is set for his musical voyage.Often being called the Steve Earle of his time; his outlaw tune is not your typical commercial jingle that is played on the typical Nashville radio. Although he has lived most of his life in Texas, it began in California, moving from state to state with his family as a child eventually on his own finding his way back to Texas time and time again. Raised in a military household; often rejecting too much discipline unfortunately landed him some trouble as a young teen. His stubbornness and independence has taken him to extensive songwriting capabilities today. His well traveled adventures crafted him into the man he is and it appears in his music continuously. He writes about what’s in the heart sometimes good, and other times what we don’t want to admit out loud. His lyrics explode with feelings to tender for most to vocalize. He projects a sense of determination others envy. Drive On, forever push forward. Do not reflect on moments lost or opportunities passed. Live through the moment at hand and fashion today after none other previously experienced. “Langston’s lyrics wander from “Enough about me girl, how you been?†to “whiskey, weed, and cocaine†as he explains “Everything around me tastes like sin.†His sound is pure outlaw, channeling the revolution that Luckenbach begat†said by author Cody Oxley of the 11th Hour Magazine. And that’s who he is. Often referred to as the new bandit where ever he plants his guitar and bag, he can be found on the couch of many friends and family members trying to make his way through this musical lifestyle that he continues to press on and has been known to wear the soles off his boots.Working in the oil fields of south Texas gets lonely, and Langston decided to pick up a guitar during time off and nothing has been the same since. With every song, you hear the struggle that has taken him to where he stands, many times with his “Hands in His Pockets†deciding which road to look down tomorrow. His music stands for the everyday working man, lonely hearts, and the whisky drinking part of everyone, that loves music. He has a heart of gold, determined to be heard. Better told by Cara Miller owner of Radio Free Texas "Josh Langston has a way of painting a picture with lyrics. Word crafting at it's finest coupled with his unique vocals...†His razor sharp edge sets him aside from anything your ears can tune into on the radio. With this it’s hard to place him into a distinct musical category, in the beginning told maybe outlaw Country quickly turned to Southern Rock, and then Folk combined with Blues, now sitting amongst many Americana artists.
