As for the Texas angle, I discovered Billy Joe Shaver about 6-7 years ago. I like his stuff. He's got a way with his lyrics. And his son Eddy was quite a guitarist.
Billy Joe is good but old. Allot of country today is filled with pop but the Texas scene is a mix of rockabilly and country. If anyones intrested look up guys like

Kevin Fowler
Robert Earl Keen
Wade Bowen
Aaron Watson
Roger Creager
Charlie Robison
Reckless Kelly
Randy Rogers Band (more pop)
Jason Bolan and The Stragglers
Bart Crow Band
Blue Edmonson

Other than Keen Youtube is few and far with these guys but its good stuff. Pure Texas
