Jason Boland and Turnpike Troubadours

I think Boland will have a pretty solid legacy in Texas country. TT aren't there yet, but they will be if they keep up producing top shelf country like they have on their past two albums. Diamonds and Gasoline has been in my CD player in my truck for over a year and hasn't been taken out yet. Good shite

Boland has, in my opinion, one of the best voices in music. Unfortunately, he writes REAL country music and will probably never appeal to the "masses". That's not to say he hasn't done extremely well for himself, because he has. Definitely not hurting financially, and has a relatively strong fanbase.

Turnpike, on the other hand, has a legit chance of being commercially successful. I don't think Evan would EVER sell out (and I hope I'm right about that), but I do see TT's music as having a little more national appeal. They are on the verge of blowing up. They've been in Sweden for the last month but are back in the US and are hitting the national circuit this summer. They've got shows not only in TX and Okie, but Chicago, Cali, the Pacific Northwest, etc.

Boland and TT have the same manager and Cory is very very good at his job.
