THROUGH WITH PLAYING SUPPORTING ROLES, THE LONE STAR–BRED COLLECTIVE RELEASE THEIR DEBUT DISC AND ENJOY SOME WELLDESERVED SPOTLIGHT TIME.
IF YOU LIKE your rock and roll rootsy and countrified and get your music news via the interwebs, you’ve probably heard of the Texas Gentlemen by now. Since the late summer, almost every major music website has premiered one of the band’s songs or music videos, streamed their new album or interviewed a member or two. Which is strange because, although the Gents (as they like to be called) have been around for ages, they’ve spent the bulk of those ages lurking in the shadows, usually as songwriters, session musicians or in backing bands, supporting anyone from Kris Kristofferson to Nikki Lane. Recently, however, the mostly Texas-based Gents decided it was time to step into the spotlight—Rockpile style—give themselves a faux-foppish name and record an album. Their debut disc, TX Jelly, was released in the fall via New West Records.
