Dale Watson & Ray Benson - Dale & Ray (2017)

Dale and Ray are, in their own words, the hottest young, or maybe the youngest hot, duo in country music. Never mind that gray hair; they swear that they re youthful twins out of Bedsore, a suburb of Snook, Texas. Sure, one of them towers over the other, but Dale explains, That s because Mama loved him more. Channeling from the likes of Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard, the Louvin Brothers, Buck Owens and Don Rich, Dale and Ray will be showcasing their own NEW original songs. Get ready to see and hear Country s NEWEST DUO from Texas!

Texas troubadour, Ameripolitan pioneer and consummate honky-tonker Watson, best known for songs like "Country My Ass," and Benson, the Western-swinging Asleep at the Wheel frontman, tackle both originals and classic covers in a collection steeped heavily in both humor and tradition with plenty of two-stepping along the way. --Rolling Stone
