My KICK-ASS Texas Chart! YeeHaw!! by samistake2ice

Well here it is. I'm not completely comfortable with all of the order and I will probably do some tweaking, but here it is....

THE ULTIMATE TEXAS CHART

I was inspired by Patmans "Hot Press" Irish chart. I used various publications, suggestions from friends, and my own personal preferences to come come up with the entries.

Obviously there is a lot of Country, but I think its also a pretty good source for Blues, Southern Rap and some really great Rock.

Whoah! You just blew me away! I never thought about the geography associated with a lot of those albums, but it turns out that I must really like music from Texas! Must be something in the water...
