Cross Canadian Ragweed

Even though Cross Canadian Ragweed broke up over seven years ago; they are by most accounts the epitome of Red Dirt.

It was on this date, May 19th in 2010, the press release announcing the band Cross Canadian Ragweed was “taking a break” hit the music world!

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!!"

This is one of those lists that I love to read, but am way too scared to ever write. It's so objective. What you like I might hate, and vice versa.

One of my all time favorite Cross Canadian AND Scott Copeland tunes would be Lighthouse Keeper.  Some know who wrote it, others thing Cody Canada wrote it.

The Texas/Red Dirt scene is very close knit, often times artist write, record and play songs written together.  We have already dove into it a little with Adam Hood and Brian Keane but it's time yet again, for another battle.
