And hey, why not? Continue Reading

Great tunes played with passion and no end of roguish charm; that’s The Long Tall Texans way, and it’s a recipe that still draws crowds after all these years. Oh, and a sense of humour - how else to explain the chuckle-worthy closer ‘What Part Of Fuck Off Don’t You Understand’?Continue Reading
