TXRiverTonk

For the Two Year Anniversary and Final Episode of TXRiverTonk in this form, I get to celebrate with my main man Ray and great friend Derrick McLendon. We spin Derrick's newest release "Play a Train Song" and talk about recording the track in an old train station where Derrick holds a monthly Sabine Songwriters Circle in Many, LA. We also give you a peak at the upcoming full band, studio EP titled The Jana Sessions with a rough mix of the unreleased "No Motorcycles No Tattoos". Derrick plays the brand-new "One Ranch Water", a cover of Mary Alice Vanderwaters' bluesy "Lucille's Alone" and finally the unreleased "Hodges Gardens Song".

It's hard to put into words what this episode of TXRiverTonk means to me and how the last two years have changed my life. I've had the opportunity to meet so many great people and have made memories I never thought possible. Thanks to everyone that was a part of the ride. It's been fun!
