The best part of my four years in Austin, Texas, was watching him on Monday nights residency at The Continental Club. Must've watched some of the best country music of any place on earth available on the regular. Damn, what a time.
As a Texan truck driver, (for life) I have listened to Dale Watson a million times over and over again on the road while truckin outlaw style. (very long hour, fast trip high horsepower overweight BIG trucks) And this artist (DW) has got me down a many of roads with his music. Many thanks Dale! Your trucking sessions music is dead nut to our (old school drivers) language that I swear that you lived the life yourself... You music is that awesome to me as a driver and only a handful of artist have accomplished that perfectly as you have! Without good music and trucks... America stops! Ten fo.
I love how musicians like this can just go into a studio and lay down songs flawlessly. The producers/engineers have this shit mixed tight, too. Sounds great. Thanks!
if you ever get a chance to see Dale and band in a bar around Austin...do it. His live music has more of an edge and it's alot more fun than anything on RUclips.
We saw him and his awesome band in Albany, NY, about a year ago. I'm not normally a "country" fan, but I'll tell you, what a night of dancing and great music! See him if you get a chance.
Boy this is nothing compared to his live performances. He really pulls out all the stops. He has a lot of rapport with the audience. If he's playin' anywhere near you, you have to go.
Seen dale Watson and his lonestars at the continental club in Austin Texas fuckin classic!!! Everybody was dancing and I was fortunate enough to smoke a joint the drummer mike! 🎸🥁🎤🎼
I just found him today, and have listened a dozen videos and this interview. I'm loving it, an authentic "Ameripolitan" musician. This is classic music! Going to go buy some cds and/or downloads! Support the music and musicians you love, buy their music!
LOL!!! Who in THE HELL would give Dale Watson a thumbs down? Only one I could possibly imagine doing that would be Blake Shelton but even he knows that Dale is really the king. Nice of them to stop torturing kittens or whatever demented hobby they have to stop by and do that...
Dale is the best. last time i saw him last year down near Silverlake (LA) at a cool place called The Echo. He delivered and man the guy is a cool sweet cat. Great band and a personalty that goes on. forever. The guy makes it all cool. His new LP is worth the acquisition, funds well spent, dough going to the sounds of dale watson.
+spikealee Baker Not sure we're on the same page my friend. Country = Blake Shelton = Bad, Ameripoliitan = Dale Watson, Hank Williams, George Jones, Wayne Hancock, Junior Brown, David Allen Coe = Good... very good.
+Chap FatHead I didn't know what you 2 were going on about, but after listening a bit of Blake Shelton I know one thing: I don't want to hear a full song and that that's not country. That's (mediocre) pop. But man, this Watson has one awesome country-voice :-)
+Josh King Incredible tone! But the whole band is really great! I just don't have enough words in my non-native English to describe my excitement buzz! =)
Good stuff! I wish more of these guys/gals were still making music. A lot of talent in country music, to bad it's all pop music today. Guess I'm and old Jack ass! I'll take it! lol
Got to see Dale and the guys perform at Tomball's Main Street Crossing, and I cant wait 'til they return to the area! I've never seen a band have more fun onstage and interact with the audience so perfectly and naturally. Dale was just one of the guys, no pretense, he sang EVERY request called out, back to back, usually with a funny backstory for each. He's a sharp sexy singer/songwriter who shows how much he LOVES his work!!! It's in his blood and he SHINES!
Money. Young cover girls and guys, equipped with a cowboy hat and a multi million management machine in the background, singing country-pop music reaches a wider audience, that's where the big money are
Rimrock300 I hate it but that’s who I have to be in the northeast. Tough to get gigs billed as an outlaw country band that doesn’t play top 40 but that’s who we are and we’ve got our following. That says enough.
austin loves ya big DALE!!!!... for real, the man has a hand in ownership of a bar here in austin that has chicken shit bingo... use your imagination... he's the real deal.... one of the best...

ME again there Dale ... DANGEROUSLY DARING DARRELL ... you COULD use a good rhythm man - LIKE ME! who could give ya great steady SOUND and TIGHTASS harmonies! Got some good "ORGS" fer ya too! I'll get in touch! Still .... that drummer - OUCH!

Who died and left you in charge of the whole of public opinion? His boy maybe talented, which is way cool, but to make a statement like that about a talent like Dale, who incidently probably has more talent 99% of us spectators, is the mark of a small mind.
No. Make the trip to Texas. It's well worth it. Go see the Broken Spoke, Continental Club, Gruene Hall, and Coupland Dance Hall. There are MANY others too. Take several trips and discover the hidden jewels in Texas.

Conway, Merle and Elvis all rolled into one. Bless you Dale!
Dale is the real deal and should be honored as the true Music man he is and true country artist.
Dale Watson is the best real deal performer alive today!
I love how musicians like this can just go into a studio and lay down songs flawlessly. The producers/engineers have this shit mixed tight, too. Sounds great. Thanks!
How could someone put thumbs down. Listen to this, this is music to my ears.
I live in NYC and seen Dale a couple of times when he rolled into the Apple. Can't get enough of him.
I love you Dale. Much love from Finland
Man I love that Telecaster sound!
if you ever get a chance to see Dale and band in a bar around Austin...do it. His live music has more of an edge and it's alot more fun than anything on RUclips.
+Tim Schmidt don't miss it!!!
We saw him and his awesome band in Albany, NY, about a year ago.
I'm not normally a "country" fan, but I'll tell you, what a night of dancing and great music!

Always A Class Act . . So Pleased To See Him At Hardly Strictly . .

LOL!!! Who in THE HELL would give Dale Watson a thumbs down? Only one I could possibly imagine doing that would be Blake Shelton but even he knows that Dale is really the king. Nice of them to stop torturing kittens or whatever demented hobby they have to stop by and do that...
+Christopher Yurkanin Thank you!!
Christopher Yurkanin Please don't mention that BS again. I can't even say his name. He's just BS to me.
Chew tabacky chew tabacky spee-it
Morons, they don't know good music. Dale is a pioneer of music
Is this the father of famous funny RUclips LetsPlayer Matt Watson?
No he only has two Daughters
Great Dale! ...and his Lonestar band
So good, so sweet. Thank you, Dale!
Great work Dale, love your sound.
The man, keeping true! If you have not seen them live...do yourself a favor and do it!
Dale is the best. last time i saw him last year down near Silverlake (LA) at a cool place called The Echo. He delivered and man the guy is a cool sweet cat. Great band and a personalty that goes on.

Matheus, that ain't country, That's AMERIPOLITAN!!!! Dale, your vocals are so good!
+spikealee Baker ...and don't let anyone tell you this is country, Blake Shelton is country and this isn't Blake Shelton.
+Chap FatHead thank God this isn't Blake
+spikealee Baker Not sure we're on the same page my friend. Country = Blake Shelton = Bad, Ameripoliitan = Dale Watson, Hank Williams, George Jones, Wayne Hancock, Junior Brown, David Allen Coe = Good... very good.

But man, this Watson has one awesome country-voice :-)
+ytdlder Dale has lots of records, and not a bad one in the bunch! Check em out!!!
I love this guy.
Outstanding musicians all around, especially that upright bass player!
+Josh King Incredible tone! But the whole band is really great! I just don't have enough words in my non-native English to describe my excitement buzz! =)
+Sergey Shidlovsky Yes! Mike on drums, Don on steel, and Chris on up-right bass. ALL great, then there is Dale! Oh yea!!
Seen these guys play in-person a couple times a year for the last 5 years. They are always excellent!
Good stuff! I wish more of these guys/gals were still making music. A lot of talent in country music, to bad it's all pop music today. Guess I'm and old Jack ass! I'll take it! lol

Texas Pride! A True Great
These guys are the real deal. No country pop here.
Was going to say Don Don is a beast, but then again Chris and Mike are also.
Classic Dale! the reference to Dewey Cox! I think I'm the only one to get it.
This goes into the coolest of the cool folder
Unbelievable! Fucking good!
Perfection
I would book a flight to go see Dale and his band.
Shaking the shack is where it,s at... Well done!
day at a time ..some slick ass 2016 country... Dont ever say country cant blow your mind cause it just did
I ❤ Dale Watson ❤️
Love that Steel!!!
Dale Watson is great, just wonder why Nashville doesn't get it ?
Money. Young cover girls and guys, equipped with a cowboy hat and a multi million management machine in the background, singing country-pop music reaches a wider audience, that's where the big money are
I would guess it's because the only thing Nashville pushes is shit. Nashville has done its best to ruin country music and fuck them for that
Rimrock300 I hate it but that’s who I have to be in the northeast. Tough to get gigs billed as an outlaw country band that doesn’t play top 40 but that’s who we are and we’ve got our following. That says enough.
That Ain't No Pre-Packaged Nashville Stuff . . That's REAL Music !
Dale Watson is sooo good!!! what a voice, arrangement and a hot band.. but Dale is a musical genius..
this drummer is fucking amazing.
Hell yeeees! The real deal!
Awesome
Really good stuff
What kind of country is that ?
Really good.
+Matheus Montano It's called REAL Country music!
+Matheus Montano welcome to the good stuff
Tim Schmidt Crossfire117 That's amazing, men
+Tim Schmidt Send me other country like that, please.
+Matheus Montano Dale Watson gave up on "country light" and made his own...Ameripolitan Music...check it out on Face Book. It's in it's 4th year!
I HATE when hipsters call something the "real deal", but in this one case, it's true.
Met him though a friend Rick Harrgett he is supposedly a good friend of Dale’s
The guy rockabilly in his genes!!
austin loves ya big DALE!!!!... for real, the man has a hand in ownership of a bar here in austin that has chicken shit bingo... use your imagination... he's the real deal.... one of the best...

American polytan is also called in my book , country western music. stuff they play today on country stations is country pop music.
Nobody caught the Dewey Cox reference at the end?! No longer main lining acid or Pcp 😆
DALE!
Look, I'm not drinking Lone Star, and you can't make me.

Bad Ass shit here. I love it!

Does Dale get out here to East Coast at all
No. Make the trip to Texas. It's well worth it. Go see the Broken Spoke, Continental Club, Gruene Hall, and Coupland Dance Hall. There are MANY others too. Take several trips and discover the hidden jewels in Texas.
Dale Watson ? FROM SUPERMEGA ?
