INDIE ARTIST OF THE MONTH: Darryl Lee Rush
 ADAPTED FROM DARRYL'S WEBSITE: Like many great Texas songwriters, Darryl Lee Rush's songs reflect the landscapes and the human condition of the places he's lived. In his song "A Town Too Tough To Die," he describes growing up in a "town down along the Coastal Bend, where there's miles and miles of milo and cotton, and that warm Matagorda wind." From the perils of picking up women in convenience stores to the “69 Chevelle sitting on blocks” in the front yard of his White Trash Paradise, Darryl paints a lively, humorous and often irreverent picture of the Texas landscape, urban to rural.
Darryl Lee Rush’s Live from the River Road Icehouse is one of the best live records of 2007. The CD is a wonderful glimpse of a raucous and rowdy Darryl Lee show. From the great songwriting to the wonderful musicianship including some of the best harp work on any country record of any time or place, Live from the River Road Icehouse is bound to set Darryl Lee Rush well ahead of his peers. It is a crowning achievement from the Markham, Texas, native. Check out this month’s Indie Artist profile of Daryl Lee Rush on TMT-Radio.
