Dale Watson is an Austin, Texas based musician born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1962. He moved to Pasadena, Texas with his family in 1977 and was influenced by his musically inclined father and brother. Watson began writing songs at a young age and made his first recording at 14. As an emancipated minor, he played local Houston clubs and honky-tonks with The Classic Country Band.

In 1988, on the advice of Rosie Flores, Watson relocated to Los Angeles where he joined the house band at The Palomino. He recorded two singles for Curb Records in the early '90s and appeared on the compilation series A Town South of Bakersfield. After a move to Nashville, he wrote songs for Gary Morris' publishing company while welcoming his first daughter into the world.

With influences such as *Junior Brown*, *Wayne Hancock*, and *The Derailers*, Dale Watson's music embodies classic country sounds mixed with modern storytelling. His unique style has earned him comparisons to artists like Billy Joe Shaver, Asleep At The Wheel, and James Hand. Discover Watson's authentic sound that captures the essence of traditional country music.

Over the last three decades, honky-tonk legend Dale Watson has carried the torch for pure country music. A fixture of the Austin, TX, music scene for years, Watson has a new home base, Memphis, TN and recorded all but one song on ‘Call Me Lucky’, at historic Sam Phillips Recording studio in Memphis.

The album features some of the city’s finest as well as Dale’s long time band, His Lone Stars, and includes a horn section on some of the tracks. With nods to the Man in Black and Hank, Watson pays homage to the greats and proves he’s the real deal.

Dale has flown the flag for classic honky-tonk for over two decades. He’s christened his brand of American roots “Ameripolitan” to differenentiate it from current crop of Nashville-based pop country. The Alabama-born, Texas- raised Watson may be the hardest working entertainer today and is rapidly approaching legendary status. He is a country music maverick, a true outlaw who stands alongside Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and George Strait asone of the nest country singers and songwriters from the Lone Star State.
