Red River Playlist No. 6
Red River Playlist No. 6
Texoma rock and country for your own playlists
After an installment posted two weeks late last time, we’re sneaking in (checks watch) just under the wire to get back on our schedule of posting a new Red River Playlist on the last Friday of every month. We’ve got a mix of Texas and Oklahoma country and rock this time, and some real bangers in here. Let’s dive in.
Mind Funeral — Cyberwitch [Youtube | Spotify]
The latest musical project from Garry Walden [Ladybird/Basics] is Mind Funeral, a heavy stoner rock band in the same arena as Mastodon at times and Stoner-rock legends Monster Magnet and Corrosion of Conformity at others. Cyberwitch is the first single from a forthcoming EP — “a concept about an ancient entity (the Cyber Witch) who has been laying dormant since the beginning of time, waiting for humans to create computers/AI so that she can come out of her slumber and take over the minds of humanity,” Walden told us.
Flatland Cavalry — A Life Where We Work Out [Youtube | Spotify | Apple Music]
Flatland Cavalry is making a stop in Wichita Falls soon and we’re including A Life Where We Work Out on this playlist for fans of traditional country, and Sleeping Alone, too. [Youtube | Spotify | Apple Music]
Cirkus — Fly Away [Youtube | Spotify | Apple Music]
Cirkus is a self-described groove metal band from Tulsa, and we dig them a lot. They have four singles on their Spotify streaming channel and the one that caught our attention was Fly Away.
Ghosts of Gray County — Faces [Youtube | Spotify | Apple Music]
We’ve featured Ghosts of Gray County on a Red River Playlist before. A mixture of alternative rock and country, this band from Pampa, Texas has a number of great tracks including Faces.
Matt Austin & the Accused — Use Me [Youtube | Spotify | Apple Music]
Not long ago Matt Austin swung through Wichita Falls and played an acoustic special guest spot at an open mic, and he promised us there’s a new release coming soon from he and his band, and it is really gonna be something. Check out Use Me.
Downtown Royalty — Am I Too Loud [Youtube | Spotify | Apple Music]
We recently wrote about Downtown Royalty’s excellent new single American Brown, and the current single from this Wichita Falls funk rock band, Am I Too Loud, is also very cool and retro-classic rock in nature. We haven’t made any secret of our love for this band, so just add this to your favorite playlist and trust us.
Cam Allen — Daydream [Youtube | Spotify | Apple Music]
Kolby Cooper is headlining the Burn Shop Block Party and Steak Cook-Off in Wichita Falls in a few weeks and Oklahoma’s Cam Allen is one of the supporting acts on the bill. On Daydream, Allen specializes in lightweight country dripping with heartbreak and traditional blues.
Kolby Cooper — Kill Me [Youtube | Spotify | Apple Music]
With nearly 600,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and nearly 40,000 subscribers on YouTube, the proof is in the pudding — Kolby Cooper, the headliner for the forthcoming Burn Shop Block Party and Steak Cook-Off is the real deal. Bonus Kolby Cooper track: Excuses [Youtube | Spotify | Apple Music]
The Innocence — Stand Tall [Youtube | Spotify]
We got to see The Innocence perform at an artist showcase in Wichita Falls recently and these guys lit it up. Their debut single, Stand Tall, shows they are composers of excellent progressive metal, carried on the shoulders of guitarists Austin Brock and Fig Newton Williams.
Eb Steward — Alligator [Youtube | Spotify | Apple Music]
Eb Steward is our current fascination, because he is so authentically Texoma. Drive 20 minutes out of the city and find a gravel road, then put on some Eb Steward while you’re cruising. The music goes with the landscape. We’re spinning Eb on repeat right now, and you should, too.
