Back to a moment where I encouraged the rain and grabbed the closest guy near me to dance the night away. I went back to the summer of 2012 where the Josh Abbott Band played at the Whitewater Music Amphitheater in New Braunfels, Texas during a thunderstorm.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Oh tonight Josh Abbott band.

Now, if you do not know who Josh Abbott Band is, shame on you. If you are from Texas and still have no clue I am talking about, double shame on you. I encourage you all then to immediately listen to their signature song, based on the one that has gained them the most attention, \u201cOh, Tonight\u201d featuring Kacey Musgraves.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3064\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/01\/Screen-Shot-2015-01-28-at-2.52.51-PM.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3064\" class=\" wp-image-3064\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/01\/Screen-Shot-2015-01-28-at-2.52.51-PM-300x237.png\" alt=\"The Josh Abbott Band\" width=\"400\" height=\"316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/01\/Screen-Shot-2015-01-28-at-2.52.51-PM-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/01\/Screen-Shot-2015-01-28-at-2.52.51-PM.png 752w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3064\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Josh Abbott Band<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Josh Abbott Band was formed when lead singer, Josh Abbott, formed the group roughly eight to nine years ago while he was student at Texas Tech University. In the Lone Star State, they quickly became a \u201chometown band\u201d everyone seemed to know all the words to. They also became huge, in Texas of course, for their concert performances. To describe one of their concerts in three words, the phrase \u201cDamn good time\u201d would perfectly fit. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/premieres\/josh-abbott-band-tuesday-night-ep-20140917\">Rolling Stones<\/a> even described their live shows as the Josh Abbott Band\u2019s \u201cbread and butter,\u201d and as a band that was \u201cbuilding an audience one gig at a time.\u201d Having been to seen them four times and never having the same experience and show as the last, I would urge you all to put them on your Bucket Lists.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3069\" style=\"width: 205px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/01\/Screen-Shot-2015-01-28-at-2.56.04-PM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3069\" class=\" wp-image-3069\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/01\/Screen-Shot-2015-01-28-at-2.56.04-PM-230x300.png\" alt=\"At Josh Abbott's concert in the summer of 2014.\" width=\"195\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/01\/Screen-Shot-2015-01-28-at-2.56.04-PM-230x300.png 230w, https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/01\/Screen-Shot-2015-01-28-at-2.56.04-PM.png 349w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3069\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">At Josh Abbott&#8217;s concert in the summer of 2014.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>So why is this all relevant you may ask? Well, as of January 26 around 8:13 pm, Josh Abbott\u2019s twitter account gave the world a little gift. He tweeted a part of his lyrics to a new song he is working on. The tweet stated: \u201cIn search of a beholder she\u2019s beautiful despite her flaws. Turning a new leaf over, Autumn\u2019s changing in the fall. #Autumn coming soon.\u201d Could this be another sequel to \u201cShe Will Be Free\u201d and \u201cShe Don\u2019t Break\u201d? I do not care what is, I know I will absolutely love it and will know every single word to it after the first five minutes of it being released. Hopefully, this could be the song that gains them the stardom they deserve. And if they never break that barrier, I will be completely content with their late Saturday night shows. I will proudly sing along to every one of their songs in my dress and cowboy boots.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3197\" style=\"width: 328px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/01\/Josh-Abbott-Twitter.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3197\" class=\"  wp-image-3197\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/01\/Josh-Abbott-Twitter-300x233.jpg\" alt=\"Josh Abbott Twitter\" width=\"318\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/01\/Josh-Abbott-Twitter-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/01\/Josh-Abbott-Twitter.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 318px) 100vw, 318px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3197\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Josh Abbott&#8217;s Tweet<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As last week poured never ending rain and everyone\u2019s rain boots were brought out from the back of their closets for the first time this year, I went back to a time where I didn\u2019t curse the wind and the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/2015\/01\/30\/rain-josh-abbott-band-autumn-coming-soon\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":3197,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,3,64,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dancing-2","category-live-music","category-news","category-texas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/47"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3040"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3040\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3198,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3040\/revisions\/3198"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
