Product Description

Now considered the stalwart leaders in the red dirt movement, the band has been making its case in each of its 200 shows a year, and on each of its records.

Customer Reviews

Classic Jason Boland
This album is really, really good. It is much better than The Bourban Legend. Jason and the band get back to the type of songs and beat that made them one of the best artists in Texas music. A really great album!

Jeason Boland is geting better all the time
Jason Boland is evolving. His last record is most country, most accurate than ever. I Love the others records of Mr Boland but Comal County Blue is the greatest.

Once and again I'm enjoying listening this brand new record.

Boland - sober and sensational
Jason Boland and The Stragglers have played gigs near my hometown ... my husband's high school students just love him and his music.

I liked the songs from his 2006 CD, "Bourbon Legend" for their originality and for their Merle Haggard-flavor, but the CD didn't spend much time in rotation during my 30-minute commute to and from work.

All that has changed.

"Comal County Blue" is stunning. For about two weeks, I've listened to it in the car and on my iPod and I'm still hearing something new with each play through.

The title cut will probably get the most attention, but "Alright," "Sons and Daughters of Dixie" and the sweet ballad "May Not Be Love" deserve some air time on the radio.

Boland's band, The Stragglers, really step it up on "Outlaw Band." It's rock with a grown-up feel.

The songs deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, booze, battling demons and the war in Iraq. There's a maturity to the lyrics. This is not a no home-grown, loosely-produced record. It's the real deal. This may be what breaks Boland into the big time.

Enjoy!
