KC Turner's Cookout Series Presents Dale Watson and His Lone Stars at Hopmonk Tavern
Date: Sunday, August 27, 2023
Time: Doors Open at 4:30pm and Show Starts at 6:00pm
Dale Watson, keeper of the true country music flame, latest album Call Me Insane, was recorded in Austin with veteran producer Lloyd Maines (Robert Earl Keen, Jerry Jeff Walker, etc.). 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.
Album highlights include “Jonesin’ For Jones,” a love song to the music of the legendary George Jones, “A Day At A Time,” about “getting by by barely getting by;” “Call Me Insane,” the album’s moody title track; “Bug Ya For Love,” a fun warning to all the single ladies, and “Mamas Don’t Let Your Cowboys Grow Up To Be Babies.” (Yes, it is an answer song to the Waylon Jennings/Willie Nelson hit.) “Crocodile Tears” is a tear-in-your-beer country song that sounds like an instant classic and “Burden Of The Cross” reveals Watson’s serious side.
General Admission Tickets are $30.00; General Admission Ticket, plus Cookout Meal is $22.00, with service charges on both. Picnic Tables of 10 are also available. Please purchase your online tickets in the above website link.
