The Texas Gentlemen
– country, funk, R&B, soul, psychedelia, roots rock, jazz – and The Texas Gentlemen can do it, all with some panache. The Lone Star State band made their reputation as the go-to backing band for a host of names, including Kris Kristofferson, Joe Ely, Shakey Graves and Leon Bridges, like a modern echo of the Wrecking Crew or Muscle Shoals’ Swampers. They finally stepped out, and now the quintet have upped the ante considerably. New album is a high-spirited set of rampant grooves and golden melodies, forged from a classic era. Keyboard player/singer Daniel Creamer tells all.
