and hear Dan Cohen’s “Nuk-Ya-Ler-Chikkin” playing as the theme song to GAC’s “Headline Country”! For show times check the website or your cable listing channel. “Headline Country” will also feature music by the inimitable Swamp Rat. Thanks to Storme Warren for including our stuff on the show.

Swamp Rat’s song “Take Her Out of Texas,” with vocals by Tracy Byrd, was featured on the Texas Spotlight at K-99 * KRYS 99.1 FM in Corpus Christi, Texas, the last week of October. The track is also spinning at KFTX in Kingsville, Q93 in San Angelo, and KUT in Austin.

Influential music critic Robert Oermann has praised “Take Her out of Texas,” describing it as “Texas swing, with plenty of bounce. Tracy sings lead and sounds born to do this style. An absolute delight.”
