The full digital release of 'Trippin' Through Texas' is today! Take a minute and check out Gary Floyd (R.I.P.) and Scott Ayers backed by Joecephus and The George Jonestown Massacre's rendition of Willie Nelson's 'Time Of The Preacher' - it's a beautiful take on a beautiful tune.
Here's some more info on the record:
We're pleased to announce the first Saustex Records physical release of 2026, another charity oriented tribute album from our good friends and allies, Memphis' own Joecephus and the George Jonestown Massacre. The album is titled 'Trippin' Through Texas' and does some exploratory surgery on a vast mine of gems by Texas songwriters and features another stellar guest list that includes:
Gary Floyd (Dicks, Sister Double Happiness, Black Kali Ma)
Scott Ayers (Pain Teens, Jane Woe)
Jeff Clayton (Anitseen)
Sir Barry Hannibal (Antiseen)
Cody Richardson (Richardson Seeds, Pure Luck, Hickoids)
JD Pinkus (Bu****le Surfers, H***y, Pure Luck)
Tall Tall Trees
PW Long (Wig, Mule)
Jimbo Mathus (Squirrel Nut Zippers)
Jeff Smith (Hickoids)
Harvey McLaughlin (Hares, Sandworms, Hickoids)
David Yow (Scratch Acid, Jesus Lizard, Flipper)
Paul Leary (Bu****le Surfers)
Lydia Lunch
WE Are The Asteroid
Alicja Trout (Lost Sounds, River City Tanlines)
Nick Oliveri (Kyuss, QOTSA, Dwarves)
Brett Bradford (Scratch Acid, Jefferson Trout)
Tex Perkins (The Cruel Sea, Beasts of Bourbon)
Matt Walker (The Cruel Sea, The Fat Rubber Band)
AND if that's not enough to wet your chops the other good news is that it benefits San Antonio's own High Voltage Music Program (now headed into it's 10th year.) The registered 501c3 non-profit provides FREE after school music instruction to teens at various schools in San Antonio. (Think 'School of Rock' for less fortunate kids...) Saustex will be donating $5 to High Voltage for every LP, CD or digital copy sold via Bandcamp. Any physical pre-order will also receive a full download of the album via Bandcamp as well as advance singles as they become available.
It's a limited edition run on orange vinyl of 200 and compact disc -- this album will be a "must" for any fan of the Texas Underground. We expect that the finished product will ship no later than April 27th, 2026.
