About Me
Review from TheCelebrityCafe.com
For the cowboys and cowgirls in the old fashion Western bars, Compadre Records new compilation CD, Brewed in Texas, Volume 2, is the perfect drinking buddy. Straight from the Lone Star state itself, this disc offers up 20 shots of pure country drinking songs, with performances by everyone from Ray Willie Hubbard to The Lost Trailers. Although not particularly a country fan, this would be the CD I would pull out if I found myself one leg up on the bar stool in the heart of Texas. My personal favorite on the CD has to be I Say When I Drink What I Think When Im Sober by Roger Creager & Radney Foster. So order on up another double from the bartender and pull up Brewed in Texas, Volume 2.

COMPADRE RECORDS TO RELEASE SEQUEL TO SUCCESSFUL BREWED IN TEXAS COMPILATION
BREWED IN TEXAS 2 FEATURES PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED TRACKS FROM THE RANDY ROGERS BAND, BOB SCHNEIDER, RAY WYLIE HUBBARD, AND MANY MORE
Houston, TX - Some ideas just call for another round. So, on July 26, 2005, Compadre Records will once again serve up a collection of drinking songs aptly called Brewed in Texas 2. The album is an intoxicating compilation of 100-proof, late night anthems from Texas favorites like Billy Joe Shaver, Charlie Robison, Asleep at the Wheel, Guy Clark, Roger Creager, and Kevin Fowler.
Several Lone Star up-starts were inspired to head into the studio to record new tracks for the compilation. Randy Rogers Band kicks off the collection with a whiskey-drenched cover of Gary Stewarts Shes Actin Single (Im Drinkin Doubles). Bob Schneider raises some high lonesome hillbilly hell on Lubricate the Death Machine, while Los Super 7 member Rick Treviño drowns his sorrows with Another Six Pack Under, a heartbreaking new honky-tonk standard in the most traditional sense. Other artists who contributed previously unreleased tracks include Texas singer-songwriter legend Ray Wylie Hubbard (The Way of the Fallen Is Hard), Texas-rock road warriors Honeybrowne (Julie at the Bar), The Lost Trailers (Crossroads), and MuzikMafias rising star Chance (I Came to Drink).
Compadre will implement an innovative promotional plan called Free Alcohol Download that will primarily target the college market. Brewed in Texas 2 will be showcased one month prior to release as an exclusive Podcast on the Compadre website.
Brewed in Texas 2 will help you two-step and sing along while crying into your favorite Texas brew. This is a potent cocktail of rowdy Texas music stars singing their favorite drinking songs, so please listen responsibly.
