Jones writes “Little Texas may have disbanded in 1997, but it never really went away.” After not having an album in seven years, the band put together a schedule of about 90 shows to see what the reaction was. It was good enough to warrant a live album, and tomorrow they’ll release a studio album, The Missing Years.
