Aaron Watson Giveaway: Angels & Outlaws
Angels & Outlaws contains covers of Waylon and John Mayer, a scripture reading by Billy Joe Shaver, “Barbed Wire Halo” from Aaron Watson’s previous album of the same name, and eleven new songs, with most of them featuring a writing credit by Watson. Kevin Fowler, Jack Ingram, Roger Creager, and Ray Benson make an appearance on the final track, “That’s What I Like About A Country Song.”
The fine folks over at Aaron Watson’s camp sent us a few of his new albums, so after hooking up all of our friends and relatives and their friends, we only have ten copies left. Not really, but Aaron’s people were gracious enough to hook us up with ten copies to give away. To enter, leave a comment telling us what your favorite song of Aaron’s is, and if you haven’t listened to his music before, any comment will do. Be sure to leave a valid email address. We’ll announce a random winner for the next five days and give the rest away next Monday. Note: We will be sending these email addresses to the sponsor and will contact you for your shipping address if you’re a winner.

First comment!
The first song of Aaron’s that I ever heard was “Off the Record,” but “Barbed Wire Halo” is by far one of my favorites.
March 25, 2008 at 8:21 am Permalink
I’ve never heard any of his stuff, but would like to!
March 25, 2008 at 8:30 am Permalink
I recently downloaded his free sampler off his website and love it….would love to hear more!
March 25, 2008 at 8:37 am Permalink
“Off the Record” is my fave, cuz it is so the opposite of how I felt during my divorce. It almost read like a fantasy tale similar to Lord of the Rings or something. It is so out of the realm of how I felt. Gimme those papers Woman, I need to sign on that dotted line ;)
March 25, 2008 at 8:47 am Permalink
I haven’t heard him before either. But I would like to.
Thanks!
March 25, 2008 at 8:57 am Permalink
For those of you who havent heard his stuff, please do yourself a favor and click on this…

Hey, I am always interested in new music – and you all have turned me on to plenty of new stuff – so include me….
March 25, 2008 at 9:51 am Permalink
I recently ordered a copy of San Angelo off of Half.com and think I got stiffed as the CD never arrived and contact with the seller has been futile! Aarrgghh! Winning a free copy of Aaron’s new CD would more than make up for my being taken for a ride! (lol) The recent single reviewed here at The 9513 was excellent, so if the other songs are of that caliber it should be quite an album.
March 25, 2008 at 10:56 am Permalink
“Off the Record” is the only one I am familiar with but I admit I didn’t realize it was him until reading these comments. I have a mixed CD of Texas Red Dirt music and this is one of my favourites off that disk.
I’m listening to his MySpace now and I’m really liking what I hear!
March 25, 2008 at 12:15 pm Permalink
I got that free sample of his music and quite enjoyed it. All the songs were good so I would love to get that cd!
March 25, 2008 at 12:34 pm Permalink
Never heard Aaron Watson before, but can’t wait to listen to this album!
March 25, 2008 at 1:16 pm Permalink
I really like what I’m hearing so far!
March 25, 2008 at 1:22 pm Permalink
my favorite aaron watson song is ‘hollaback girl’. i also really like ‘my humps’ a lot. but i’m going with ‘hollaback girl’.
March 25, 2008 at 1:35 pm Permalink
I also like his remix of “In Da Club”, it blows his “Get Low” out of the water!!!
March 25, 2008 at 1:42 pm Permalink
Heard about him from this website with the review of the new single “Hearts Are Breaking Across Texas,” and decided to check out some of his other stuff. I like what I hear
March 25, 2008 at 2:30 pm Permalink
I havn’t heard his stuff yet, but I really want to. I love learning about artists and exporing their talent and their styles. I think Aaron could be very promising just by seeing his following here.
March 25, 2008 at 3:18 pm Permalink
I actually just heard his song, Hearts Are Breaking Across Texas, its awsome. This guys got something!!! It’s got an Alan Jackson George Strait field to it that makes it sound really awsome.
March 25, 2008 at 3:42 pm Permalink
I haven’t heard any of his stuff, but I just listened to some clips on iTunes and they all sounded good.
March 25, 2008 at 4:41 pm Permalink
I can just hear Aaron blasting over my speakers this summer at Jamboree in the Hills campground or camping for 4 days in Indy for the Brickyard, but mostly to introduce my friends to Texas music. They don’t know what they’re missing.
March 25, 2008 at 4:42 pm Permalink
My favorite song of his is Good Thing Going off of San Angelo. It just really has a good feel to it.
March 25, 2008 at 4:59 pm Permalink
My favorite Aaron Watson song is Haunted House. The lyrics really do a good job of putting across the idea this guy is super lonely.
March 25, 2008 at 5:26 pm Permalink
I don’t really know his stuff, but I’m sure he’s great, so I’m interested. Thanks.
March 25, 2008 at 5:28 pm Permalink
Off the Record is such a great song. I saw him open for Gary Allan/Craig Morgan in Waco last year and he puts on a great show. You can tell he works hard for his audience.
March 25, 2008 at 6:17 pm Permalink
Hmmm, favorite Aaron Watson song? That’s a toughie…
I’ll go with “Reckless”… just such a fun, summer song. Other favorites include “San Angelo”, “Good Thing Goin’”, and “Barbed Wire Halo”. I would love to grab a copy of his new CD.
March 25, 2008 at 9:13 pm Permalink
San Angelo one of the best songs of all time!
By one of the best true country artist of our time!
March 25, 2008 at 10:57 pm Permalink
I like Aaron’s sound and I think he’s really cute. I’d like a date with him (if my husband will allow it…).
Please enter me in the cd contest! Thanks!
March 26, 2008 at 12:46 pm Permalink
I only have his San Angelo album so far but on that one ‘Except For Jessie’ stands out and I like how he can mix up the sound a little on a song like ‘Unbelievably Beautiful’.
March 26, 2008 at 4:29 pm Permalink
The 9513 continues to rock in that country way!! Loved the review of Gary Allan’s new single, Leaning How to Bend. I think he has another #1 in the bag! Seeing Gary in B-more in May! Glad he will be one of the first artists to play so I can leave early if the Ken Chesney crowd gets out of hand…..
March 26, 2008 at 4:55 pm Permalink
My favorite song is Barbed Wire Halo, (which I got thru Aaron’s website) I absolutely love the line where it say he sat in the back “so he could chew him a chaw”. Good music is really hard to come by these days and this guy really nails it every time!
March 26, 2008 at 9:21 pm Permalink
Wow. I’ve been listening to clips of his music on MySpace, his website, LoneStarMusic, and iTunes, and it sounds great. I just got done reading a new interview he did and it just made me like him even more:

From the first time I hear Aaron, I knew this guy was something different. My favortie song of his is “3rd geat & 17.” It’s a classic high school going away love song. I want that new CD.
March 26, 2008 at 10:22 pm Permalink
Thanks Brady!
March 26, 2008 at 10:26 pm Permalink
I downloaded the sampler y’all were promoting, and my two favorite songs are “3rd Gear & 17″ and “Long Vacation.” I’d love to get the new CD from Aaron and here more of his stuff.
March 27, 2008 at 7:36 am Permalink
I just love, love, LOVE “Off the Record.” I also had “San Angelo” on heavy rotation on my Ipod last summer. “Reckless” is also a good one.
And hey, I also have to mention that Aaron is quite easy on the eyes. ;)
March 27, 2008 at 3:24 pm Permalink
Today’s winner is Howard. Congrats! We still have eight more to give away, so if you haven’t left a comment yet, DO IT NOW!
March 27, 2008 at 9:51 pm Permalink
There are too many songs to choose from, but I would have to say my favorite is “San Angelo”. I absolutely love Aaron Watson.
March 28, 2008 at 12:00 pm Permalink
He’s a lot of great songs, but my absolute favorite is “What She Don’t Know”, it’s such a great sad song.
March 28, 2008 at 5:49 pm Permalink
Reckless is a good, fun, dancing song. That’s probably a favorite so far.
March 28, 2008 at 8:52 pm Permalink
Aaron Watson is probably my favorite Texas Country Artist. He has so many great dancin songs! Barbed Wire Halo is currently my myspace song!

Thanks!! Always appreciate new music!!
June 4, 2008 at 1:08 pm Permalink
Up until I heard “Hearts are Breaking,” my favorite was “Off the Record”. All of my favorite songs are from writers who really write from the heart; Aaron is one of them. Only thing I wish is that Aaron would cut “Hearts are Breaking” again as a waltz. I’ve been hearing it in my head as a waltz since the first time I heard it. If I were a new bride, I couldn’t think of a more wonderful lyric to hear while dancing with my new husband.
Happy Trails!
