March was all about music for Texas Standard. We debuted our latest Texas Standard special – “Rap to the Ranch: The Ballad of Mason ‘Bric’ LaDue.” And we celebrated ten years of the show with a top 10 list of our favorite music interviews and stories from the past decade.
The first weekend in March, the music partner of our home station KUT actually let the Texas Standard team take a turn as guest DJs! Our playlist is very different from our top 10 list because these are *personal favorites in one way or another.
Please note, for podcast purposes, we couldn’t play the whole song – so you’ll just hear little teases. Here’s the playlist:
1. Asleep At The Wheel – “Bob Wills Is Still The King” (feat. Clint Black) [David Brown]
2. The Black Angels – “You On The Run” [Alexandra Hart]
3. Selena – “Tus Desprecios” [Raul Alonzo]
4. Freddy Fender – “Before the Next Teardrop Falls” [Kristen Cabrera]
5. Jess Williamson – “Chasing Spirits” [Leah Scarpelli]
6. David Halley – “Loose Diamond” [Shelly Brisbin]
7. Khruangbin – “The Infamous Bill” [Casey Cheek]
8. Scarface – “Good Girl Gone Bad” [Wells Dunbar]
9. Amanda Shires – “Mineral Wells” [Gabrielle Muñoz]
10. Margo Price – “Hands of Time” [Rhonda Fanning]
11. Black Pumas – “Colors” [Laura Rice]
