Aaron Watson

Live: Deep in the Heart of Texas

Texas artists have a tradition of frequent live releases, and there’s a good reason for it—having a red-hot stage show is of the highest priority on the regional scene, and each concert release serves as a marker of progress and accumulated impact. Aaron Watson may not be a household name nationwide, for example, but the audience at the Hog Creek Icehouse near Waco for the show documented on the CD/DVD set Live: Deep in the Heart of Texas lets you know they think he’s a superstar. They sing along heartily as Aaron romps through a fast-paced 22-song set that spotlights his confident showmanship.
