My first Cross Canadian Ragweed album was Highway 377, got it not long before I joined the Army in ‘02. I jammed "Long Way Home" all the way to Iraq and back, also "The President Song" off Live at Billy Bob's became a favorite during that time in my life...
It was on this date (May 19) in 2010, the press release announcing the band Cross Canadian Ragweed was "taking a break" was released. The announcement forever changed the Texas / Red Dirt music scene and left all of us screaming "CARRRRRNNNEEEYYYY MANNNNN!!"
Even though they are no more, Cross Canadian Ragweed is, by most accounts, one of the best bands to ever come out of the Red Dirt scene. So, this week with the RTX Sunday Video we take a look back at our favorite Boys From Oklahoma, with a song that'll transport you straight back to high school, "17."
