T. Tex Edwards and the Out on Parole Band
Wednesday, March 12 | Hole in the Wall
I’m in my mid-40s, and I’ve seen just about all the bands I want to see. But I have to admit, even with my jaded sensibilities, that I experienced a humdinger of a musical event last Wednesday evening at Hole in the Wall for the performance of T. Tex Edwards and the Out on Parole Band.
What I’m still wheeling over today is: It was a free show with free parking, it wasn’t crowded, not a scenester was in sight, the show started at 7pm, and there was a free 7” record hand-out. All of this was icing on the cake for me, someone with a 9-to-5. It was a storm of convenience and great talent.
Texas’ legendary cow-punk T. Tex Edwards performed the hell out of a set of tunes from his classic release of psycho murdering country hits, the Pardon Me, I have someone to Kill LP released in 1989 on Sympathy for the Record Industry. This seminal group of honky-tonk punkers relived and revitalized every track of this album – and in case you missed these renditions live or if you’re a “newbie” fan, you’re in luck because it’s being reissued for release via the Saustex Label.
T. Tex is the real deal – this marvelous music lifted my soul to a higher place.
