If you love real roots rock and americana music, Jason Boland will change your life. His voice is has a depth of emotion that is unsettling at times. He can break your heart one minute and make you swing from the rafters the next. He is one of those poets that makes you say "I wish I had said that." Not only does he have lyrics that will amaze you, but these guys are musicians in the truest sense of the word. Roger can play Spanish guitar that will make you cry then play a blistering solo that will knock you flat on your ass. These guys never disappoint. To top it all off they are down-home wonderful people. They are the kind of people you want to have a beer with and philosophize! Get better Jay!
You're in my prayers, my friend.
I hate to waste space for a review but for those of you who have both of Jason Boland and the Stagglers albums please respond on a review of which album you like better or maybe if they're equals 'cause I've been waiting to make a purchase of one of their albums and I noticed they had a new one out and I wanted to know which one was more worth purchasing.
I love Pearl Snap Shirts!! A perfect beer drinking CD!!!
i just happened to run into these guys in a bar in dallas. they are awesome. one of the best live bands i have seen. i bought "pearl snaps" that night and love it. they have quite a few #1's on that cd. if you don't own it BUY IT. they are all great musicians and good guys.
A Wonderful Texas Music Fest - Have Seen These Guys Live Twice & They Are Great. If You Are Anti-Nashville, These Are The Guys For You!!
Jason Boland HAS to be one of the best writers in Texas Music. The stragglers are as good a band as there is.
Truck Stop Diaries is my 2001 release of the year.
Live a little and treat yourself to a wonderfully written cd.

This new Boland CD outta be great too. Pearl Snaps is one of my favorites and I hear great things about Truckstop Diaries. I think Mike McClure of the Great Divide produced it.
I love Jason Boland and the Stragglers.
Their music and talent are
amazing. It's cool, too, that they
appreciate each and every fan
they have. I can't wait for the
new cd!
