“The panhandle of Texas is a really forgotten part of the world. It’s not a pretty place; it’s dusty and it smells like cow shit, but it has its beauty. And the people are just the best,” says William Clark Green, who with three fellow Texas singer-songwriters is hoping to shine a light on an overlooked region of the state with their new group and album.
The Panhandlers — Green, Josh Abbott, John Baumann, and Cleto Cordero — released their self-titled debut in March, just prior to the world going to hell.

Jessi Alexander, “Mama Drank”

At the risk of overdramatizing the encounter, it was a meeting that would change both of their lives and, arguably, launch a new wave of Nineties traditionalism in country music.
“We kept in touch and started a friendship. We were turning into good buddies and then we said, ‘Hey, let’s try to write some songs,'” says Fulcher,...
