am doubly honored because I am the first
woman to receive the appointment. With so
many amazing Texas women musicians
whom I greatly respect and admire, I feel
really humbled and privileged to be the first
of, I am sure, many. It’s very exciting, and I am

Tejano star Emilio still critical
GUITAR HEROES: (from left) Visual artists Shanny Lott and Debra Samples;
musicians Lloyd Maines, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Terri Hendrix, Ray Benson and
Sara Hickman; and visual artist Ann Pinion.
Big guitars, bigger check
Ray Benson, Terri Hendrix, Lloyd Maines,
Ray Wylie Hubbard, Sara Hickman and
Austin Mayor Will Wynn were among the
luminaries who came out to participate in
the giant check-passing when the Gibson
Foundation gave $586,085, the proceeds
from its Austin GuitarTown auction, to four
Austin-area charities on April 2.
The event, held at the Gibson Guitar
Showroom, was the culmination of a twoyear project that featured local artists decorating 10-foot-tall Gibson guitar replicas,
which were then displayed around town
before being auctioned off in October along
with a few regular-sized, celebrity-designed
axes. Hendrix and Maines performed at the
event, and Benson, who chaired the project,
was presented with quite a yard decoration:
the burnt-orange prototype Gibson sculpture. The four charities receiving equal portions of the donation were American
Youthworks, Austin Children’s Museum,
Austin Museum of Art and the Health
Alliance for Austin Musicians.
Prayer vigils were still being held last week
around Texas for Tejano superstar Emilio
Navaira, who was critically injured on Easter
Sunday when the tour bus he was driving
slammed into a concrete highway median as
he and his band were heading home to San
Antonio after a gig. According to reports, he
remains in critical but stable condition.
Trying a new form of treatment, doctors
induced hypothermia following the accident
to reduce brain swelling, then slowly brought
his body temperature back to normal. The
Emilio Navaira Benefit Fund has been set up
for donations at the Amegy Bank of Texas,
P.O. Box 4837, Houston TX 77210.
Reckless Kelly lands new label
After a run on Sugar Hill, Reckless Kelly has
found a new home on a North Carolina
label — Chapel Hill’s Yep Roc Records. The
band’s new album, Bulletproof, will be
released this summer; it will be their first
album of new material since 2005’s Wicked
Twisted Road. The band’s last release was a
two-CD/DVD set titled Reckless Kelly Was
Here.
Jack Ingram sings Astros off
Houston native Jack Ingram got to indulge

JAMES
MCMURTRY
Just Us Kids
(Lightning Rod)
James McMurtry doesn’t
rant, he needles, and
with the skill of a doctor, he once again
makes bull’s-eye pricks at some of society’s worst ills. This time out, he also
injects some melody into his always-brilliant diatribes. LYNNE MARGOLIS
GEORGE STRAIT
Troubadour
(MCA Nashville)
Not all of his albums are
going to be as loaded with
great songs as 2006’s It
Just Comes Natural was. But it’s a testament to George Strait’s commitment to his
craft that he never turns in a less than than
sterling performance — whether the songs
are worthy of his voice (“Troubadour,”
“House with No Doors”) or not even close
(“River of Love”). RICHARD SKANSE
SOUTH AUSTIN
JUG BAND
Strange Invitation
(www.southaustinjugband.com)
The South Austin Jug
Band is now down to a
trio. But as indicated by the one cover
here, Beck’s “Jack Ass,” they’re boldly
forging new progressive directions while
still bringing the string-band foundation
along (a la Nickel Creek) to create their
most original and ingenious set yet.

AARON WATSON
Angels & Outlaws
(www.aaronwatson.com)
If anyone didn’t
know Aaron
Watson was a
born-and-bred
Texas good ol’
boy before they
listened to
Angels &
Outlaws, this
song collection
will leave no doubt. The titles alone make
it obvious: There’s “Hearts are Breaking
Across Texas,” “Whiskey on the Fire” and
a throwback named “Breaker Breaker
One Nine,” done at about 90 miles an
hour (don’t let that Smokey catch ya!)
With twangy gee-tar, twin fiddles, pedal
steel and the other classic country elements, it all sounds just like you’d expect
it to — which means almost a little formulaic. But it’s a formula that can keep a lot
of fans very happy. One standout is “Can’t
be a Cowboy Anymore,” which Watson
delivers with a crag in his voice and a
“cain’t” in his lyrics. It’s a twinge-of-sadness/sort-of-happy-ending look at a man’s
tug-of-war between his lifestyle and his
lover, one of which will have to win sooner
or later. (Hint: It ain’t the horse.) He also
gives a sweet twang to John Mayer’s “The
Heart of Life” and a strong reading to the
Waylon Jennings nugget, “Tulsa.”

Pinetop Perkins boogie-woogies toward 95th birthday
Not many artists celebrate their 95th birthdays with a new album and a Grammy win, but
dapper blues/boogie-woogie pianist Pinetop Perkins is like the Energizer Bunny — he just
keeps going and going. He’ll undoubtedly cut the cake at Antone’s when he hits the big 9-5
on July 7, a month after his latest disc, Pinetop Perkins & Friends, drops. Among those featured on the album are Eric Clapton, B.B. King, fellow Austinite Jimmie Vaughan and Willie
Kent. In February, he picked up his first Grammy, for Last of the Great Mississippi Delta
Bluesmen: Live in Dallas, which also featured David “Honeyboy” Edwards and the late
Robert Lockwood Jr. and Henry James Townsend. The album was released by the Blue Shoe
Project, a Colleyville-based non-profit dedicated to spreading the legacy of the blues to new
generations of listeners.
Q&A Hayes Carll
Texas Music caught up with
singer-songwriter Hayes
Carll on the eve of releasing
his third album and Lost
Highway debut, Trouble in
Mind. He was busy delivering copies to players on the
album, picking up his guitarist from the
airport and sweating out the final details
of his upcoming Stingaree Music Festival,
but was game for a 10-minute chat about
where he’s been, where he’s headed and
his favorite music for the road.
Congrats on the big day! Do you get really antsy right when a new record comes
out, or have any release-day rituals you
do?
I’ve never really had a real release day for a
record before. On the last one, we just
started selling them at shows, and my first
one was so long ago, I can’t remember how
that went! But it feels good. It’s just kind of
chaotic, because we’ve got the release and
our festival, which are kind of our two
biggest events of the year, in a 10-day period. So we’re kind of just scrambling right
now. It seems like we’ve done so much
preparation for everything, I’m ready to just
go out and sing.
How involved are you with the brass
tacks of putting on your festival? Are
you there sorting out the brown M&Ms
for the artist riders and figuring out the
schedule, or do you leave that stuff to
other folks and just have fun?
It’s sort of a mix. The festival was my idea,
but my manager, Mike Crowley, has more
experience with festivals and this kind of
news

artist q&a

stuff, so a lot of the day-to-day work falls on
him — everything from lining up port-ojohns to working with the Chamber of
Commerce and advertisers and stuff.
Basically I’m just an idea guy. I pull in a
bunch of favors to get people to come in
and play for cheap, and I do a lot of the
scheduling, but Mike does a tremendous
amount of the actual work on it.
What’s been the best advice that you’ve
ever received in regard to your career?
There’s two things that I think about; one
was from Ray Wylie Hubbard, and the other
was from Jack Ingram. Ray will tell anybody
that it comes down to the song. When I was
coming up, it seemed like there was a lot of
other guys doing really well and I was not.
Ray said, “It’s about the songs. A lot of guys
are gonna have success, but it’s not gonna
last if you can’t keep putting out good
songs. At the end of the day, that’s what it
comes down to.” And that’s always been
really reassuring to me, in that I try not to
get too wrapped up in whether I’m the flavor of the month with the college kids that
year, and just remember that if I keep doing
good work, I’ll be in it for the long haul. And
what Jack told me was, his career was
ahead of his art when he started out. He
said he got going and had a lot of success
right away, and it took a while for his songs
to catch up to his career. And I was sort of
in a reverse situation, where he thought I
was doing good stuff, but I had like five people a night at my shows. At the time, that
made me feel a lot better. In retrospect, I
feel fortunate in that I didn’t have that
immediate success. Jack works his ass off,
but a lot of guys, when success comes too
easy, they can get lazy and take it for granted. I was forced to just keep working, and
slugging my way through the bars and the
clubs and the folk coffee houses and stuff
made me a better songwriter, and it’ll pay
off in the long run. Plus, if you start off big,
sometimes you’ve got nowhere else to go
but down. I started at the bottom, so every
little incremental step upwards felt really
good, and I felt like I earned it.
Given the opportunity to play just one of
your original songs for somebody that
you really wanted or needed to impress —
be it a loved one, a hero or, say, St. Peter,
which one would you sing? I assume in
the case of St. Peter, it wouldn’t be “She
Left Me for Jesus.”
[Laughs] I’d find out real quick if he had a
sense of humor! I don’t know, maybe “Long
Way Home” off of Little Rock, or I’m partial
to “Arkansas Blues.” I’d play something real-
ly long and wordy and depressing. That’s
some of my favorite stuff. They don’t
always take off at shows, but for me, those
are some of the ones I’m most proud of.
What’s your all-time favorite record, at
least at this particular moment?
I’m just going to go contemporary. The
thing that I’ve listened to the most in the
last five years is Todd Snider’s East
Nashville Skyline. It came late in the game
for me, but as far as just pure listens, and
something I haven’t been able to put down
for a long time, that record just blew me
away. If I went back a ways, I might say
another Skyline record — Dylan’s Nashville
Skyline. Dylan’s records were my obsessive
records growing up. So we can say Dylan
early life, and Todd for the last few years.
