V/A - Texas Wild (LP)

The Lone Star State just got a little more legendary. The album that had everyone talking in 2023 – praised as one of the "Best Albums of the Year" by Texas Monthly – has just proved that everything really is bigger in Texas. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation's groundbreaking compilation, Texas Wild, already demonstrated that when Texas musicians reimagine classic Lone Star anthems, magic happens. It turns out, they had more where that came from. Introducing the Texas Wild Deluxe Edition – now featuring 13 tracks total, including two bonus cuts that were too good to leave on the cutting room floor: Zella Day's ethereal take on "You're Gonna Miss Me" and Ruthie Foster's soulful "Pretty Woman." Every track captures that untamed Texas spirit you can't find anywhere else. This isn't your typical covers album – it's a genre-bending journey that smashes together blues, cumbia, country, hip-hop, R&B, and electronica in ways that shouldn't work but absolutely do.
