Red Dirt (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Red Dirt (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Red Dirt Music gets its name from the color of soil found in Oklahoma. Although Stillwater, Oklahoma is considered to be the epicenter of Red Dirt music, some say there's a Texas Red Dirt sound as well. Old school Texans and Okies alike will swear that the two were distinctly different. The Outlaws, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson, are associated with that distinctive Texas sound while Bob Childers defines Oklahoma Red Dirt music. Childers, known as the "Dylan of the dust" jammed to a slightly different country chord — Red Dirt style. These days, the gap separating the two genres has thinned.[1]
