Cleburne singer-songwriter Angel White (@angl.whte

Cleburne singer-songwriter Angel White (@angl.whte) has announced the release of his debut album, Ghost of the West: The Album,” a full-length expansion of his prior EPs, out March 7.

“I think my story is being told within the songs, but also other people’s,” White told KXT in May 2024. “So if [people] connect in any way, I’ve done my job. … [That] vulnerability is — I mean, for me, it’s gold.”

When Jimmy Carter ran for president, he was barely

When Jimmy Carter ran for president, he was barely known outside of his home state. He had served in the Georgia State Senate and as governor of Georgia, but was far from a household name. What gave momentum to his campaign and endeared him to the youth vote was his friendships with musicians like Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson and the Allman Brothers.

"I was practically a non-entity," Carter says in the film Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President. "But everyone knew the Allman Brothers. When they endorsed me, all the young people said, 'Well, if the Allman Brothers like him, we can vote for him'."

During his time as president, Carter invited many musicians including Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, the Bees Gees and more to the White House.
