This Is Your Life, The Brooklyn Bridge - Worst That Could Happen, Art Garfunkel - All I Know, Linda Ronstadt -Easy For You To Say,
Joe Cocker -The Moon's A Harsh Mistress and so on, Jimmy Webb continues to write songs that are as carefully crafted and magical
as the earlier ones. Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson hit #1 in the late eighties with another Webb standard,
The Highwayman, a ballad which won him yet another Grammy for Best Country Song of the Year, and a CMA Award for Single Of The Year.
Linda Ronstadt, who has recorded a multitude of his songs throughout her recording career, included four of his efforts on her double platinum album,
Cry Like A Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind. With a discography that reads like a Who's Who in the music world, Webb’s songs continue to grace
a multitude of major recording artists’ albums, from Tony Bennett and Rosemary Clooney, to Urge Overkill, Reba McEntire, and Shawn Colvin.

 Fri 4/2 An Evening with Raul Malo
with special guest Bob Walkenhorst & Jeff Porter
   
On Lucky One, his first album of original material in seven years, Raul Malo has shed his musical shackles.
I have been fighting my whole life against people who want to pigeonhole music. We fought that in the Mavericks.
I feel like I’ve got no restrictions anymore, the Grammy winner says.  I am not really writing for any specific genre.
I feel like I can do whatever I want.
Malo s mellifluous tenor combines equal parts Sinatra, Jones and Orbison in one beautiful package.
Every tune will give you goosebumps  VINTAGE GUITAR
With his new album, Lucky One, Malo returns to his own songwriting with an adventurous set that swaggers through honky-tonk, zoot suit, and moments of smooth jazz and deep Latin soul, all propelled by Malo s supple, Orbisonian vocals.   AUSTIN CHRONICLE 
Bob Walkenhorst and his Rock N Roll Band will finish out the night

 Friday 4/16 Junior Brown (Roots/ Rock/ Twang)
with special guest Belleville Outfit 
and the Cowboy Dave band

A lot of people tell me they don't like country music, but they like what I am doing," says Junior Brown.
I hear that line more than anything else, which is ironic because a couple of licks is all it takes to erase any doubts
concerning Junior's stylistic allegiance. His music combines the soul of country and the spirit of rock n' roll.
Cowboy Dave is Dave Wilson, the frontman of FortyTwenty. He's introducing his new group, appropriately called
The Cowboy Dave Band
Belleville Outfit  is a cross-genre American folk band based out of Austin, Texas.
Their sound has been described as a mix of gypsy swing, big band jazz ...
