Description
Dale Watson, keeper of the true country music flame, latest album Under The Influence, was recorded in Austin with his band The Lone Stars. The Austin-based honky-tonker carries on in the tradition of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson with his “Ameripolitan” brand of American roots music. Dale describes the new project as “an album dedicated to all of my influences, from Elvis Presley and Ray Price, whose songs are not included here but have had as much or more of an influence, on my music, to Merle and Lefty and Johnny whom have had an obvious influence. I feel blessed to have grown up exposed to their music and around to have heard most of them Live. I feel very sad for the artist to come that have and likely will never hear of these legends and their songs. Country music of their time is gone, but luckily it lives in Ameripolitan Music, and that my friends is where you will find artists that still carry the torch that these influences lit. It will never go out!”

Dale has flown the flag for classic honky-tonk for over two decades. He’s christened his brand of American roots “Ameripolitan” to differentiate it from current crop of Nashville-based pop country. The Alabama-born, Texas-raised Watson may be the hardest working entertainer today and is rapidly approaching legendary status. He is a country music maverick, a true outlaw who stands alongside Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and George Strait as one of the finest country singers and songwriters from the Lone Star State.
