Aaron Watson - Horse Named Texas (2026) [Hi-Res]

The "horse named Texas," after which Aaron Watson names his new double album, featuring its face painted in the colors and star of the national flag on the cover, is a symbol the Amarillo-born country singer-songwriter uses to talk about himself, comparing himself to a cowboy who, on the back of an honest and reliable animal, has come a long way, from dusty small-town honky-tonks to great national and international fame. It is the cornerstone of his most ambitious album yet, a collection of 26 new songs, all of which bear his signature: written with Lukas Scott and Troy Cartwright, the sentimental "Old Houses" pays homage to his founding values ​​(faith, family, and friends), while "Pontiac (So Tell Me Momma)" gallops at full speed, and the moving "Gone Fishin'" imagines lost loved ones in a parallel, more serene universe.
