One of his songs was recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker in 1978, spurring him to pursue a solo career.
3. Robert Earl Keen -- Songs
   Robert Earl Keen is the Sam Peckinpah of the singer-songwriter movement. Almost alone in a field dominated by "sensitive" types, Keen is willing to write songs about America's--especially his native Texas'--obsession with guns and violence. Although he is often pigeonholed (and not without reason) as a comic songwriter, guns are all over his fourth album, A Bigger Piece of the Sky. Keen is not a great singer (he sounds like Jerry Jeff Walker with a cold), but he is one of the best lyricists in a state crawling with them.
4. William Boyd -- Southern Ohio

Mr. Boyd ... serves on the board of Directors of the Better Business Bureau of Southern Nevada and of the Crime Stoppers of Nevada
5. Jimmy Buffett -- Key West
   Jimmy Buffett’s career has been as colorful as the Western Caribbean clothes that he so famously wears. He started singing in a Miami coffee house in 1972 and has not stop performing live since. Jimmy Buffett has one of the largest loyal fan bases in popular music which makes him a cultural icon it the eyes of his “parrot heads” (the term coined from the colorful hats his fans wear to concerts.) Buffett’s music has been described as tropical, wistful boozy tunes about sailors and dreamers with such hits as “Margaritaville,” “Weather is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful,” and “Cheeseburger in Paradise.”
6. Apostles -- Super Apostles
   The Shakin' Apostles' debut album appeared in 1993. From the first notes on the first song (Wild, Wild West) it is aparent that these guys are something special. With Ronnie Johnson and David Bender holding down the rhythm section, Freddie Steady is able to step forward and emerge into a formidable lead singer and guitar player. Danny Thorpe helps hold the band together as John Inmon takes wing on a flight of guitar playing that few guitarist can navigate. Cam King (previously with the Explosives) adds a superlative touch with his 12 string electric and baritone guitars. Jerry Jeff Walker stops by to add to the celebration on "Hey Woody".
7. Leann Rimes
   If you’re a Leann Rimes fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don’t even have to be a fan of Rimes, or even Contemporary Country to know is good. It’s just good music. Period.
