Butch Hancock

An unsung pioneer of 1970s Texas Progressive Country, Steven Fromholz had a knack for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Revered by legends like Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett & John Denver, he remained commercially unknown. He sought redemption on the Rio Grande as a river guide until a debilitating stroke erased his musical memory, stripping Fromholz of his artistic identity. With an almost obsessive persistence bolstered by newly discovered archives as well as never-before-heard recordings, this intimate and impressionistic portrayal unveils the evolution of Fromholz, and reshapes the notion of success and artistic fortitude.

The Flatlanders live from Austin Texas. Tracks include: 'I Had My Hopes Up High', 'She's Gone Away', 'Down in the Light of the Melon Moon', 'Now It's Now Again', 'Yesterday was Judgement Day' and 'Gimme A Ride to Heaven'.

From the poetic to the philosphical, the heartbreaking to the hilarious, Lubbock Lights explores the phenomenon that is West Texas music.
