Everybody’s got a Texas song. The hard part is narrowing it down.
Our pals at KUTX are building The Texas 250 — a massive Fourth of July countdown celebrating the songs that best capture the sound, spirit and swagger of the Lone Star State — and they need your top 5 picks.
That's no small feat, when one’s ballot could easily enumerate just, say, classic Houston hip-hop anthems. (Editor’s note: For the record, those would be “Mind Playing Tricks on Me,” “Still Tippin’,” “International Player’s Anthem,” “June 27th” and “25 Lighters.”)
Cast your ballot here — and while you're there, leave us a voice message talking about why you picked the songs you did. I wanna hear you, and I'll do my best to share your voice on air.
Stick around: Below, we’ve also got stories on Texas music legends, a great new book, politics, culture and more from around the state.
