Texas Platters

Gary Nicholson

One of Nashville's premier songwriters for three decades, Gary Nicholson pays tribute to his Texas roots with a big assist from Asleep at the Wheel. Not the smoothest singer, Nicholson remedies that with lyrics that strike a universal chord, this time for those still enamored of honky-tonk and swing. Guests like Joe Ely, Marcia Ball, and Delbert McClinton, as well as co-writes with Stephen Bruton, Guy Clark, and Kevin Welch make this Lone Star Songbook a success.
