I have a chosen to research the Texas Country music and focus on the influences of
Pat Green. Texas Country is considered a sub-genre of country music that has Texas roots. The separate local culture is located in the Fort Worth Stockyards where "
Billy Bob's" is one of the world's largest honkytonks. One of the main elements in Texas Country music are the unique dancehalls in the small country towns. Billy Bob's allows a diverse type of people from the true cowboys to those teens that just like the artist or Texas Country music itself. It has been described by some people as "its own little world.
Pat Green was born in San Antonio, grew up in Waco, and went to college at Texas Tech in Lubbock where he started his music career in learning to play the acoustic guitar. His influences on his country career include some of the earlier famous Texas Country artists like
Willie Nelson, Robert Earl Keen, and Jerry Jeff Walker. As far as his interest in any type of music, his influence was the wide range between Eightys music, best of Motown, to a little classical music.
I hope to learn a lot more about the Texas Country music culture, and deeper into the influences on Pat Green's music career.
