Texas tunes kick up the sawdust - Texas music, with it’s gritty combination of country, rock, folk and plenty of swagger. “Ten In Texas”, on Houston’s Icehouse Music, gathers newly recorded versions of Texas classics. Among them are a soulful reading of Guy Clark’s “Texas Cookin’” by Ruthie Foster, a swinging take on Buddy Holly’s “True Love Ways” by Aaron Watson and a knee-slapping rendition of Red Steagall’s “Lone Star Beer and Bob Wills Music” by Gary P. Nunn.
Asleep at the Wheel’s Ray Benson produced “Ten In Texas”, as well as singing Don Rollins’ “The Other Woman.” There’s not a dud in the bunch. The disc ends too soon. It should have been Twenty In Texas. - The Dallas Morning News
“Ten In Texas” is a simple but brilliant concept from Icehouse music: 10 new recordings of 10 great songs, written by 10 great original Texas songwriters, performed by 10 great Texas artists. Call it an anthology of classics and standards, youth and wisdom, unleaded and premium. With an iridescent cast of characters that reads like a roster of Texas royalty, this is one history play you don’t want to miss. “First and foremost, “Ten In Texas” is a tribute to great songwriters from Texas, including venerable artists Kris Kristofferson, Billy Joe Shaver, Buddy Holly, and Guy Clark- Billy Hagan, Cowboys & Indians Magazine
