Texas Exile Radio http://www.texas-exile.org/

UK-based and produced by a Texan far from home, Texas Exile Radio broadcasts eclectic, edgy, twangy Country and Americana music 24 hours a day through Live365.com. We are not a commercial thing; we exist simply to share with a wider audience our passion for quality roots music — and perhaps in some small way to bridge the 5000 miles between here and Texas.

Our format is flexible. We really like traditional and neo-trad styles — twang and whine are your friends! 😉 — but, in the end, we choose our playlists solely on the principle that TExR should be just what we want to hear on Country radio but usually don’t. (That’s where the non-commercial thing becomes a bonus.) In any given hour you’re likely to hear a lotta hard twang, some crying steel, some jams from the Austin and Red Dirt scenes, an old-style classic or two, some gravelly Alt-Country, a touch of Buffett and friends — even a few songs from those rare Nashville types who still recall what Country music’s s’posed to sound like!
