Josh Abbott Band “She’s Like Texas” Hits No. 1 on the Texas Music Chart
Lubbock, TX / April 20, 2010 – The Lonestar State’s best-kept secret, Josh Abbott Band, continues to garner success with their single, “She’s Like Texas,” which hit the coveted No. 1 spot this week on the Texas Music Chart. This is the band’s first No. 1 on the Texas Music Chart, which is celebrating 10 years as the industry standard for measuring airplay in Texas and adjacent states. “She’s Like Texas” finds itself back atop the Texas Regional Radio report this week, as well. In addition to their radio achievements, JAB can also be found gracing the pages of the May issue of People Magazine’s “Country Special” on stands now. One thing is certain, they are not likely to remain a secret much longer. Written by Josh Abbott, “She’s Like Texas” is the title track from JAB’s brand new album available on iTunes and joshabbottband.com. Produced by Erik Herbst, She’s Like Texas debuted at #28 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and earned a Hot Shot debut nod. The disc also soared to the No. 3 spot on the iTunes Country Music Albums chart right behind Country Music superstars Lady Antebellum and Taylor Swift on release day, 2/16, and secured the No. 35 spot on the all-genre iTunes album chart on 2/17. She’s Like Texas is the follow-up to their debut album Scapegoat, which delivered one of the Top 15 most played songs of 2009 “Good Night For Dancing” featuring Charla Corn as reported by the Texas Music Chart. In the blink of an eye, Josh Abbott Band has gone from an unknown artist to one of the fastest rising young stars in Texas country. She’s Like Texas is an emotional album that sets up the do-it-yourself Josh Abbott Band as the next authentic breakout hailing from the state of Texas. Playing over 250 shows this past year, JAB has been performing to packed houses all across Texas and Oklahoma including Texas hot spots such as Wild West in Lubbock, Cowboys in San Antonio and Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth. The passion and high-energy characteristic of Josh Abbott Band’s performances come through both on stage and in the studio. It’s no wonder why the Josh Abbott Band has quickly become a Texas institution—and why its talents can’t be confined for long to the Lonestar State.
