Search - Rick Broussard :: Let It Go

Slapping the rockabilly tag on Rick Broussard is kind of like pigeon-holing The Clash into punk rock. At the end of the day for either one, they make music that rocks. Period. Even Broussard's sad songs and weepers carry a rhythmic groove that would make Joe Strummer proud. Broussard can't help it, after a lifetime of listening to British rock and Texas country and a few decades of banging out a righteous country rocking beat in honky tonks. The San Antonio native calls Austin home now, though he and his Two Hoots and a Holler still cover the map with their rockabilly punk, Cajun country, and surfin' hula honky tonk music. In fact, there's even a song called Surfin' Hula Honky Tonk on Let It Go, Broussard's rocking first release on the Austin-based SteadyBoy label, the brainchild of fellow Texas category-defying Freddie Steady Krc.
