Dale Watson, keeper of the true country music flame, latest albumCall Me Insane,was recorded in Austin with veteran producer Lloyd Maines (Robert Earl Keen, Jerry Jeff Walker, etc.). The Austin-based honky-tonker carries on in the tradition of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson with his Ameripolitan brand of American roots music.Album highlights includeJonesin For Jones,a love song to the music of the legendary George Jones,A Day At A Time, about getting by by barely getting by;Call Me Insane,the albums moody title track; Bug Ya For Love,a fun warning to all the single ladies, and Mamas Dont Let Your Cowboys Grow Up To Be Babies.(Yes, it is an answer song to the Waylon Jennings/Willie Nelson hit.)Crocodile Tearsis a tear-in-your-beer country song that sounds like an instant classic andBurden Of The Crossreveals Watsons serious side.Call Me Insanewas recorded in Austin by Watson and his ace touring band, His Lone Stars: Don Pawlak (pedal steel), Mike Bernal (drums & percussion), and Chris Crepps (upright bass & background vocals). Dale plays electric guitar throughout and Lloyd Maines added acoustic guitar. They were joined in the studio by Danny Levin on piano and the Honky Tonk Horns: Jon Blondell (trombone), Joey Colarusso (saxophone), and Ricky White (trumpet).Having known Lloyd over 20 years and worked with him as a musician, I knew he was agreat guy and picker," Watson says. "But having Lloyd produce your record is like letting your mom in yourkitchen. You know youre gonna like what comes out and it's amazing how such basicingredients can be made even better. He is an artists' artist.The admiration is mutual. "I've been a Dale Watson fan since I played steel guitar on some of his early records," Maines says of the sessions. "My early musical influences are the same as Dale's. We both grew up playing real country music. Dale is one of a very short list of today's artists who still keeps it realcountry. I'm honored that he asked me to produce his new record. I think he knewthat I would maintain the integrity of his passion for the music."Dubbed "the silver pompadoured, baritone beltin', Lone Star beer drinkin', honky-tonk hellraiser" byThe Austin Chronicle,Watson sat in with Jimmy Kimmels house band as a guest onJimmy Kimmel Live(ABC)from SXSW 2015. He also emceed the first ever SXSW Ameripolitan showcase featuring the best of Honky-tonk, Outlaw Country, Rockabilly and Texas Swing music.
