Brandon Jenkins

Brothers of the Dirt (Red Dirt Music Co.)

Brandon Jenkins looks like he’d be more comfortable outside the Red Eyed Fly than Ginny’s Little Longhorn Saloon, but his roots music within is as solidly muscled as his tattooed forearms. Flag-wavers (“Blood for Oil”) and country blues (“Marching Toward the Guns”) aplenty for Jenkins, a member of those Okie-Texans with one foot in Bob Wills and the other in ZZ Top.
