Call Me Lucky

Over the last three decades, honky-tonk legend Dale Watson has carried the torch for pure country music. A fixture of the Austin, TX, music scene for years, Watson has a new home base, Memphis, TN and recorded all but one song on ‘Call Me Lucky’, at historic Sam Phillips Recording studio in Memphis.

The album features some of the city’s finest as well as Dale’s long time band, His Lone Stars, and includes a horn section on some of the tracks. With nods to the Man in Black and Hank, Watson pays homage to the greats and proves he’s the real deal.

Dale has flown the flag for classic honky-tonk for over two decades. He’s christened his brand of American roots “Ameripolitan” to differenentiate it from current crop of Nashville-based pop country. The Alabama-born, Texas- raised Watson may be the hardest working entertainer today and is rapidly approaching legendary status. He is a country music maverick, a true outlaw who stands alongside Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and George Strait asone of the nest country singers and songwriters from the Lone Star State.
