You people and your notion that every Texas artist is a REK clone is just a load of crap. They are all from Texas, of course they are gonna sing about some of the same things. But as for there ability to write songs that mean something to them, there is no doubt that Owen Temple does exactly that. And about that one guy who wrote that they are all second rate performers, what are you thinking? Were you to drunk to hear the music or something? All those guys you mention give there all on stage, and none are second rate!!!!!!

Buy this guy's CDs. He is a simply amazing songwriter and he will only conitnue to get better as he gains experience. Owen will soon be one of the biggest names in Texas music. I strongly recommend that everyone hear him at least once.
This guys terrible! Nothing but a UT frat boy trying to act like Robert Earl! He needs to go see James Hyland or Pat Green so he can learn how to perform and sing from his roots!
you're awesome...all my parties liven up when i play you...it seems to get better and better!
The first time I listened to "When I hit San Antone I couldn't help myself from crying... I haven't listened to all the songs in the album, but I must say I fell in love with that song. Here in Spain (you know, over Europe) it's very hard to find Texan music; you folks should do a little more to take it abroad.
I don't know about Passing Through, but General Store has to be one of the best Albums I've heard before. This kind of makes me feel sorry for Owen knowing the album will be almost impossible to beat, but I have confidence that he can produce other great products in the future, because there is not one song in General Store that isn't great, and true to heart.
I miss Owen! Where is he? I have both CDs and wouldn't take for them and I'll buy his next one, too. His music is some of the most requested by folks who come to my home and appreciate good Texas music.
Owen Temple's albums are two of the greatest CDs in my Texas County collection. General Store tells so many awesome stories and the acoustic guitar and fiddles in Passing Through are great. Both are must-have's for any TC fan,
I don't mean to sound like a jerk here. I just thought I should point out that whether you agree with Hambone's reviews or not they are his. That is what this board is all about. Expressing opinons on artists and CDs. I don't agree with all of Hambone's reviews but he has the right to state them here.
I think Owen Temple is an excellent songwriter. His CD General Store was fantastic. I fell in love with it. Me And Maria is a great song along. I loved the stories he told , like Dry Creek, and When I Hit San Antone and his cover with his buds Pat and Cory on the classic Jaded Lover. To be honest I myself couldn't find fault with any song on the CD. I haven't heard all of his newest CD but the few songs I heard sound fairly good but i haven't heard them enough to really give an opinion.
