Wade Bowen – Somewhere Between The Secret And The Truth [LP]

Twenty years and some 4,000 shows into his career, the name Wade Bowen has become synonymous with Texas country music and for good reason. An artistic descendant of American icons like Guy Clark, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Robert Earl Keen and more, Bowen is another link in a Texan chain of roots-rock poets stretching back more than 50 years but his ambition never ended at the state line.

I will carry that flag proudly, Bowen says of his well earned Red-Dirt distinction. But Ive always said Im not a Texas artist, Im an artist from Texas, and I think theres a difference.

Indeed, Bowen has showed the world that difference since 2001 by going big on integrity.

Seen as one of the genres finest and most authentic modern voices, Bowens approach stays rooted in tradition, but also stands on the creative cutting edge. His focus remains on writing unique songs with a literary quality, and shifting his sonic territory to match his life. And while the hard-touring troubadour is constantly breaking new ground, his course was set early on.
