[...] Hudgins, from Lucas Hudgins and the First Cousins, left a comment letting us know that they’ll be releasing a new album in July. In the mean time, if you enjoy [...]

We just finished our first big project record, recorded at the NEST Studio in Austin, produced by Dave Biller ans Chris Miller. We are currently mixing down and should be releasing it in July.

check out some of the early rough cuts on our Myspace page.

Lucas – Even the places that claim to be some of the oldest Dance Halls (ie: Gruene Hall) don’t have dancing, so it is nice to have a place like The Spoke still around…even if I can’t dance.

BTW, I see that The Moonhangers are coming out with a new album, do you guys have any plans to begin work on a new one of your own anytime soon?

The Spoke truly is the last real Dance Hall Gig in the Austin area, without it I don’t know if we’d play much around here and have folks who appreciate things like a Ray Price or Faron Young tune…etc.

we’ll be back out there Tuesday May 22nd, so please spread the word that there’s still True Texas Music and venues around allowing the music to be heard the way its supposed to be (out on the dance floor).

Nice story Ron. I’m glad the Spoke has some younger talent (like Bruce Robison and Lucas Hudgins) playing right now to help continue it’s legacy when the older artists aren’t able to play anymore.

The Broken Spoke is quite a place. I saw Don Walser and his band a few years ago, before his health went south. He kept the dance floor filled all night, and he was quick to take requests, like Eddy Arnold’s “I’ll Hold You in My Heart.”

Yeah, I mentioned something about the Ameripolitan thing in my last comment. It’s too bad, though.

Dale is hosting the Midnite Jamboree here in Nashville in a few weeks. I’m hoping to get out and see him. However, Brady, I think that’s as close to the Opry as he’ll get. I doubt they’ll go for the whole “Ameripolitan” thing.

This Brady/Brody thing is going to be an issue.

The Billy Joe Shaver one got a pretty good rise out of the crowd. I’m not positive about the song title, but I’m willing to bet it was “Where Do You Want It.”

It went something like “Where do you want the pain / I’ll take my best aim / Billy asked ‘Where do you want it?’”

But don’t quote me on that.
