Even Cupid sang the Blues

Valentines Day 2023 for some might mean heart shaped candies , lots of pretty flowers , and an endless supply of greeting cards , for me it means new music.

This year, Cupid comes disguised as a six foot something all American Football player. A singer songwriter and a Grad Student.

At the dawn of St Valentine’s, Payton Matous dropped a stellar new EP , Swooney Tunes. In this album Payton highlights his ability of putting his pencil to paper, he writes love songs and disguises them as the Blues.

301Productions and Payton Matous have done another lovely job. Give this one a spin.

Pancho.

Valentine

I’ve seen the signs that point out the way, as I’ve driven the backroads of the Big Bend Region of West Texas. I have heard stories from the locals there about things like the time Indian Larry took out the gas pumps on one of his drunken escapades.

Valentine, Texas a place long forgotten in time with its population averaging just around 100 folks. Valentine is also known for a movie called Dancer Texas that was filmed there. The town got its name from the coming of the rails. A Southern Pacific crew building rails reached the site way back in 1882- the date February 14, 1882 to be exact.

Texas Singer/Songwriter John Baumann recently Tweeted that he wrote this tune about the little place out West last year on the day before Valentine’s Day.

Valentine, for Valentines features the Panhandlers as well as Kaitlin Butts who also happens to be singer Cleto Corderos Valentine Sweetheart and wife.

The Panhandlers make some pretty catchy tunes and they are proud to be putting West Texas back on the map-

West Texas is the Best Texas.

Pancho.
