I recall sitting in the stands of my hometown, Lakeview Oregon, as the rodeo color guard came screaming into the arena on horseback with that song blaring. Same fairgrounds I shared a VERY drunken hand shake with Mr. Chris Ledoux. As much as I know nostalgia won't save us, it sure feels good to reflect back 30 years ago. I get goose bumps every time I hear Foster and Lloyd's music and imagine perfection in that great, proud state of Texas 150 years ago :)

This is surely one of the most iconic Cowboy songs ever written!

I was playing the first Foster & Lloyd CD when I was a jock on KWYO-AM in Sheridan, Wyoming, and I probably would never have gotten into singing if I hadn't heard the first version of Texas in 1880 by Foster & Lloyd. The song has stuck in my head as one of the best melodies and one of the truest country songs I've ever heard.

One of my first CD's along with Steve Earle Exit O. As classic today today as it was 30 years ago? Thanks Randy, fan forever.

His  voice hasn't changed in over 30 years.

I first heard this song on Foster & Lloyds self titled release on cassette and instantly fell in love with this song, I wore that cassette out! That whole album was awesome! Not a bad song on it!

If you're into true western history you should read "Empire of the Summer moon" or "The log of a cowboy" one is of the struggle of Texans vs The Commanche or more accurately settlers vs Commanche. And the other is the rememberances of a cowboy who climbs his way up to be a "cowman" and later a large rancher. Or read "Bob Fudge"
