Texas Country (#550.3) on the Country DDS.
What exactly to make of William Clark Green has always been an interesting question. Clearly he’s one of the leaders and headliners in the greater Texas music scene, and deservedly so. In Lubbock and West Texas, it’s probably not out-of-bounds to characterize him as a sort of Texas country legend already, even if one prominent country outlet recently asked if he might be the next breakout star, 11 years after he had a Texas music hit with “Next Big Thing.”
William Clark Green has some great songs, a knack for composing strong melodies, is easy to like, and hard to hate. But his sound has always been a little too soft for true country, but not nearly fluffy enough for pop. It finds that safe zone in Texas music similar to Wade Bowen and Randy Rogers where it’s commercially accessible, while still delivering more substance than mainstream country radio stuff…
