Once known for its German dancehalls, in the mid-1970s a new musical form was created in Austin that propelled it onto the national stage: Progressive Country. Take the classic songs by iconic Texas songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker, Townes Van Zandt, Michael Murphy, Willie Nelson and Guy Clark, build a rockin’ fire under them and you’ve got the music that made Austin, “Austin.”
Members of the Lost Austin Band were there when this happened and played the bars and concerts that brought this music to life. Hear these great songs again played by the guys who helped launch this scene! Not to be missed!
