Album: The Talco Tapes (Explicit) by Treaty Oak Revival (2025)
Genre: Country
Format: Album

Description: Treaty Oak Revival revisit some of their best-loved tracks on this stripped-down acoustic collection, which pulls material from the Odessa, Texas, act’s first two full-length albums, 2021’s No Vacancy and 2023’s Have a Nice Day and tosses in a cover for good measure. Known for their rough and rowdy approach to country rock, the band still sounds raw and potent with these toned-down arrangements, which offer a little more space for lead vocalist Sam Canty to wrench emotion out of the songs’ often narrative lyrics. 

Recorded at the SoundBank Studios in Talco, Texas, The Talco Tapes kicks off with “I’m the Worst”, a fan favourite that, in this incarnation, sounds twangier than its sludgy studio counterpart. “Boomtown” swaps the Tom Petty influence of the original for a more Red Dirt sound, with pristine pedal steel cutting through acoustic guitar. “Ode to Bourbon” dials up the harmonies, and “Fishnets” gets a touch of tenderness that suits the song’s complicated story. The band rounds out the project with a cover of The Goo Goo Dolls’ 1995 smash “Name”, turning in a faithful performance that retains the emotional intensity of the original.

Related Artists: Koe Wetzel, Ole 60, Whiskey Myers, Hudson Westbrook

Music Scene: Part of the Odessa, Texas music scene. Emerged in the contemporary era. Associated with Country Rock movement. Known for Country style.

Album: West Texas Degenerate by Treaty Oak Revival (2025)
Genre: Country
Format: Album

Description: Self-described “rock band with a country accent” Treaty Oak Revival lean into what they do best on their third album, turning in 14 tracks of loose, crunchy Southern rock with a distinctively Texas bent. Channelling the wild, unpredictable energy of their live shows, the five-piece brings a shaggy immediacy to the collection, like on standout “Port A”, a beach-party anthem that channels Lucero with its easy groove and cockeyed world view, and “Shit Hill”, which dips into the sludgy influence of ’90s and aughts alt-rock. 

Softer moments like love song “Sunflower” and Gannon Fremin & CCREV collaboration “Withdrawals” add narrative and sonic depth to the record, which could have been one barn-burner after another given the band’s considerable chops. The band tapped a number of other guests to join them on West Texas Degenerate, too, like fellow Southern rockers Muscadine Bloodline, who lend some Alabama swagger to the lightly poppy breakup tune “Misery”, and fellow Texan William Clark Green on the catchy title track.
