Palo Duro Records

Twang Nation list Eleven Hundred Springs “Country Jam” as the Best Country Album for 2008.

1) Eleven Hundred Springs - “Country Jam” (Palo Duro Records) - If you want a crash course in the best Texas country music over the last half-century the 2008 release from Dallas’ ESL would be a great place to start. From the hillbilly poetry of Mickey Newbury and Joe Ely to the Western Swing of Bob Wills to the pop and rock of  Doug Sahm and Buddy Holly all the influences are there.  And though the sounds are reflective of the Texas greats  ESL makes it distinctly their own on this superior homage to the Lone Star State.

2) Justin Townes Earle - “The Good Life”  (Bloodshot)
3) O’Death -  “Broken Hymns, Limbs and Skin” (Kemado)
4) Felice Brothers (Team Love)
