Tony Booth gained fame by working for Buck Owens as a front man and bass player. He branched out on his own with major hits including “Cinderella” “Keys In The Mailbox” “Close Up The H***ytonks” and “Lonesome 7-7203.” After a twenty year absence, he signed with Heart of Texas Records. His latest project is titled “Something About You Baby I Like.” He was awarded the Male Vocalist of the Year award by the Academy of Western Artists in 2011 and album of the year in 2021.

Darrell McCall is a legendary Texas dance hall entertainer with many hits to his credit including “Dreams of A Dreamer” “It’s The Water” “There’s Still A Lot of Love In San Antone” and his duet with Willie Nelson on “Lily Dale.” He started in the business as a bass player and harmony singer for some of the greats in the industry including Ray Price, Faron Young and Carl Smith. During that time, McCall took lessons while working stages all over the world with these industry icons. During the last few years, he has been recording for Heart of Texas Records with three very successful albums to his credit including “Old Memories And Wine” “Keeping With Tradition” and his latest “From The Heart.”

Seguin native Dottsy had numerous hit records on RCA including “I’ll Be Your San Antone Rose” “We Still Sing Love Songs In Texas” “Tryin To Satisfy You” “After Sweet Memories Play Born To Loose Again” and “Storms Never Last”. She toured all over the world and made several appearances on the Grand Ole Opry.

Canadian born Mona McCall began working as a drummer for various entertainers that toured Canada. Mona recorded some singles while in Canada under the name of Mona Vary. She was hired by Audrey Williams as part of her organization in the 1960’s. After marrying Darrell McCall, she stayed home and raised their two children. She has recently recorded her first album “Memories Love A Melody” on the Heart of Texas Record label and is a featured part of the Darrell McCall show.

We had such a great visit today with the Zane Adamo and the Soda Crackers Band from Bakersfield, California, at the Heart of Texas Country Music Museum. The Soda Crackers have been touring through Texas and Oklahoma performing their brand of Bakersfield Traditional and Western Swing Music. These young men are steeped in tradition and have a deep love for the history of the business.

They were elated to meet and spend the afternoon with Kay Adams. She relayed stories of working with Buck Owens, Bonnie Owens and Merle Haggard and the guys were so honored to be in her presence.

We caught a couple of their songs including “Deep In The Heart of Texas” and a special request of “Faded Love” especially for Kay. They also played instruments from Billy Walker, Justin Tubb, Norma Jean, Kay Adams and Hank Thompson while visiting the museum.

We are always excited to see young musicians carrying on the legacy of Traditional Country Music.
