There’s only a few things I know about Texas. It is big,
beautiful, and it generates some of the greatest country music artists in the
nation. No exception is the Shane Howard Band.
Shane has been at
it for nineteen years, and those of you who read my blog know that above all, I
love perseverance. There is no crying in baseball, and there is no quitting in
the entertainment business.
In 2002, Shane dissolved his
band Rampage and became a member of
the most elite artists in the world – songwriters. No more cover songs, no more
shows just for the sake of showing off for a few bucks. It was time to have his
message heard, which, in my opinion is the sign of a true artist.
My personal favorite Shane Howard Band
song is "Hero In Us All."
I relate to the lyrics, and I think it is a song intended to remind us all to
bring out the best in us. However, all of Shane's songs are packed with meaningful,
thought-out lyrics and insight.
"Rattle Snake Road"
is another fantastic tune about small town living, but the best is "My Town."
– “You’ve never been nowhere until you’ve been to my town.” Jacksonville is a
long way from Riesel, TX, but we feel the same way.
