About john Arthur martinez
He wears a cowboy hat, but more out of deference to Texas
and his ancestors, as he is no hat act. He finished in second place to
Buddy Jewell on Nashville Star in its first year, but extrapolating a
mainstream stereotype from that would just be wrong. He is heart
and soul and defies categorization. He is erudite, world wise, and yet
hasn’t lost touch with his roots. He is as much at ease in a work
shirt, and he is on the podium. It is time to take another look at this
self-realized man.
About Walt Wilkins
San Antonio-born Walt Wilkins has been called a genius, more than
once, and a writer the caliber of John Steinbeck and his voice as
comfortable as a pair of old blue jeans, and he is, and has, all of
that. His crafting of story-songs, hard-edged vocals to sing them and a
plaintive guitar have made him a fixture of the Texas music scene (and
Nashville before that). He’s put his magical touch on recordings by new
and veteran artists, too many to count.
Is he near done? Hasn’t he done it all? Double hell no.
With The Mystiqueros, Wilkins has created something of a “Texas Hill
Country super-group” that features five great singers and four great
songwriters from the heart of the Lone Star State, all of whom have
made their own records and are flush with recording credits.
Onstage and in the studio, Wilkins is joined by Bill Small (bass,
percussion, acoustic guitar), John M. Greenberg (electric guitars),
Ramon Rodriguez (drums, percussion) and Marcus Eldridge (electric
guitars). Live performances around Texas are being likened to both
outlaw country and classic rock bands.
About Mike Blakely
Blakely was writing western novels, so why not record
some western songs he had written? “The down side was that
I got categorized by some folks strictly as a cowboy
singer. It took a long time convince people that I don’t do
cowboy poetry, and I don’t yodel. Yeah, I grew up on The
Sons Of The Pioneers and Marty Robbins, but I also cut my
teeth on everything from BTO and ZZ Top to Willie and Merle.
To this day,
Blakely writes and performs in a number of musical styles:
country, Tejano, Cajun, western swing, rock, and blues, to
name a few. His later CDs showcase his many influences, and
his live shows feature the gamut of his musical tastes.
“That’s the beauty of performing in Texas,” he says. “You
can play a country song, followed by the blues, followed by
some rock, or conjunto, or Cajun, or cowboy music. The
audiences here accept all kinds of music.”
