Location: Terlingua

Terlingua is a massive touchstone in Texas music primarily because it gave its name to Jerry Jeff Walker’s legendary 1973 album ¡Viva Terlingua! Though actually recorded in Luckenbach, this seminal record is considered the “Big Bang” of the cosmic cowboy and progressive country movements, establishing the bedrock for modern Red Dirt music.

West Texas

West Texas is the spiritual and cultural bedrock of “Texas country,” Americana, and early rock ‘n’ roll. Shaped by its wide-open, dusty plains, the region’s music is famously characterized by poetic lyricism, working-class themes, and a unique blend of country, folk, rock, and borderland influences.
