Announcing The Marfa Tapes. A project by
@mirandalambert
,
@jonrandallmusic
and me. Recorded in Marfa, TX. They’re raw. First song, “In His Arms,” is out at Midnight EST tonight. Album out May 7th. Preorder vinyl/Presave:
Marfa, TX. The place you go to escape, get inspired, and write songs. At least that’s what
@mirandalambert
,
@jonrandallmusic
and I do. Tin Man was the 1st song we shared. Tequila Does was the 2nd. In between, we’ve written 13 more. It’s about time to share them with y’all
We took 2 microphones to Marfa, TX and documented how the songs unfolded. We did one take and these are just meant to be very raw, real and in the moment. “In His Arms” Out Now.

Out May 7. Preorder/Listen:

THIS. IS. HAPPENING.
I wouldn’t believe it, but I know it’s real... We were all there! Put your headphones on and join us. It’s worth the trip.

This man. This gentle, brilliant, man. Under any circumstance, this is a blunt force punch to the solar plexus. All the words I keep typing then erasing are just swimming in my head. More like a panicked swimmer that feels like he may be drowning or like a fish out of water...
Jerry Jeff Walker died yesterday. He was an absolute treasure in my life & a real hero.
Every time you have ever seen me jump off some kind of cliff on stage like a teenage kid on a BMX bike and you thought, WTF is he trying to do... & then we nail the landing! Jerry Jeff Walker!
Got together with a couple of my very talented songwriter friends, wrote a song, recorded and released it, it was nominated for Song of the Year at the ACM Awards, it won Song of the Year. TWO YEARS AGO TODAY!

Last night I walked through the tunnel and out onto the majesty of a

When a couple of your songwriter friends say let’s go to West TX, you go.
When someone brings out the tequila, you drink it.
When you leave West TX w some good songs, you record them.
That’s how it goes.

We lost a legend today. We’re sad, as we should be. But we‘re left with his legacy. Which we can smile about, as we should. Godspeed, Charlie. You’ll be missed, but your legacy will live on forever.
Some people love Road Trips. Some live for them. A few others, simply love them & live for them. Pretty sure
@hayescarll
is one of them. He wrote this one. Pretty sure I’m one of them. I love this one. Here’s my take, on his take, take this song for a trip “Down The Road Tonight”
Not sure how many times anybody’s been sitting around at sunset and heard a song come through their window that they had a part of writing with their favorite country mama only to peek out that window and see people dancing to the song as the sun says goodnight to the moon!
My tenth studio album
#RidinHighAgain
will be released April 26th. Hear the first single “Where There’s a Willie” and pre-order the record today! Pre-order here:

Made it in the newspaper for my birthday... does this mean I officially “made it”?!? They got my age wrong though, it should say 25... 🕺🕺
Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes, it was a good day!!!
“Am I Right or Amarillo” was a line I had while we were talking about how the most time we’ve spent in Amarillo was at the truck stop. We started riffing on the title & the song showed itself. We all miss country cheating songs so we went with it!
Listen:
Happy birthday to one of my heroes,
#GuyClark
I’ll never forget the day I sat there and played “All Over Again” for him… when I finished, he looked at me and said, “Good work”. Those two words coming from my idol meant so much, as they would for any songwriter.
Sure do miss him.
One year of

I’ll never forget pulling in to Marfa, TX for the first time at 4am and thinking it was so beautiful it didn’t look real.

Film comes out tonight on Facebook, and we can’t wait for you to be immersed in Marfa’s beauty too.

Played our 1st show last night in this brave new world. Distancing was physical. Connection was social. Responsibility was respected. Walked in, plugged in, played hard, sang songs, told stories, came together, was grateful, walked out, washed hands, cleansed souls, went home.
