Brisket Beats 5

We’re moving into Volume 5 for this Pick, and while the Brisket Beats foundation of Texas Soul remains, we’re tapping into some different flavors this time by blending legendary outlaw songwriting with "Texican" rock and essential cumbias. It’s a deliberate mix for a proud crowd that wants to hear their roots in everything from vintage blues to modern anthems. For bar owners, the logic stays the same: it’s about keeping the room moving and the business thriving with a sound they can call their own. I’m curious —which of these tracks get you headed to the bar for a drink and which ones pull you straight out onto the dance floor?
