Since dabbling around in the live concert scene to some extent has become a hobby of mine after arriving in the Big D, I sometimes stumble across some musical acts that are worth checking out.

June’s Country Pick:  Hayes Carll – A Houston, TX product I’ve enjoyed lately after receiving a recommendation from a friend.  He’s a pretty decent songwriter.  If you like Son Volt or the Uncle Tupelo years, I think you’ll like this guy.  We can have some pride in the stuff this guy is doing. 

June’s Rock Pick:  Jackie Greene - Heard his song “I’m So Gone” on XM on the way between two points.  Just started listening to him, but like Carll, he’s been around a while and I’m just now getting plugged in.  He’s doing something a little different and I’m not sure where I stand just yet on the complete body of work, but I have come to the conclusion that regardless, that’s a damn good song and a lot of people out there will like this guy more than me in the end.

On the Radar:  Ghostland Observatory and I keep hearing good things about The Supersuckers, but keep missing them.
