Tucked away in an industrial area of Garland is a small, unassuming building that holds the keys to Texas music history.

Audio Dallas, formerly Autumn Sound Studios, is where the king of outlaw country, Willie Nelson, recorded three albums, including Red Headed Stranger, which turned 50 this spring.

Garland hosted a two-day, citywide celebration that included tours of the storied studio.

Arlington native @marenmorris savors the sweet and bitter with new LP “Dreamsicle.”

“This record has been a slow melt — a swirl of memories, longing, growth and the sweet, sometimes bittersweet flavors of becoming,” Morris wrote in a release-day note to fans. “These songs were written in moments of clarity and chaos, laughter and loss and in the quiet in-betweens where we learn who we really are. Dreamsicle is a love letter to the messy, beautiful process of healing and dreaming again.”

The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter's fourth major label album is her best work yet, taking stock of herself with grace, humor and grit.

The past decade has been anything but dull for @chrisholtmusic.

The Dallas-based singer-songwriter and guitarist released his last solo album, Stargazer, nine years ago. In the span of time between that record and his just released fourth and latest solo album, Across the Milky Way, Holt has performed with global (Don Henley, Mike Campbell, the Eagles) and local (Bastards of Soul) talents. Those commitments, while fulfilling, also proved a bit stifling to his own solo career.

“There’s my job world, which is all the touring gigs and sideman work that I do,” Holt said during a recent conversation. “Then there’s the side of me that’s the fledgling songwriter trying to be an artist. It’s nice to get back to doing my own thing again after so long.”

KXT writer Preston Jones spoke with Holt ahead of his album release show at the @kesslertheater about the perspective a supporting role provides, just how revealing his songwriting really is and why he keeps pushing himself to create.

Dallas-based singer-songwriter, Esteban Flores, who performs under the musical moniker Slow Joy (@slowjoyslowjoy), is readying his debut LP, “A Joy So Slow at Times I Don’t Think It’s Coming,” for release on Friday, May 16.

The record, produced by Mike Sapone in Massachusetts and far west Texas, is a gorgeous fusion of turn-of-the-century alt-rock and emo-tinged pop, alternately sweepingly cinematic and achingly intimate, and one of the sharpest records to emerge from North Texas yet this year.

KXT writer Preston Jones spoke with Flores about how he approaches collaborative songwriting, the way making an album changed him and what he hopes people take away from his debut LP.
