Howdy. Welcome to The Rhinestone Grindstone. Midland’s weekly email. This is a country music newsletter, which means we’re gonna talk about mama, trains, trucks, prison, and gettin’ drunk. Scroll on down for a new Midland experience. Oh, and thank you to today’s sponsor, Insolito, the best damn tequila on the planet.
Good tunes, good people, and the great state of Texas! What more could ya ask for? You bring the BBQ and we’ll bring the music.
This was a staple in my moms van growing up. Perhaps one of the greatest greatest hits out there.
