Sigh. I meant to vote for Garth. I guess Reba could use some love.
The answer is Garth, but the kings of Leon deserve to be on the list for sure.
Chet Baker. Give me that jazz!
Yeah I thought I heard they were from OK but I think Google told me Texas.
My Color Me Badd vote was influenced by them being a thing when I was in high school. Hopefully I don’t get my PFB+ credentials revoked

Hell… Ray Wylie Hubbard wrote a song so good, Redneck Mother, they named that big lake east of Dallas after him.
Frankly the original list is trash, except for Garth.
Color Me Badd > Garth.

Well… Leon Russell wrote songs with the Rolling Stones. Woody Guthrie invented the protest song.
I dig old school hip hop and r&b from time to time… But “I wanna sex you up” isn’t quite the needle mover that Wild Horses is.

Jason Boland is the best Red Dirt songwriter of all of them. Fight me.

I love Boland, but I watched him get so sideways he couldn’t remember his own songs so many times I eventually gave the nod to the other guys lol
Are you confusing him with Felker!?
