There comes a time in the journey of many singer-songwriters when they find themselves drawn to Texas. “Choosin’ Texas,” this is not. It’s chasing the ghosts of its famous (and sometimes infamous) songwriters — Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Joe Ely, Doug Sahm, and

The man, the myth, the weirdo in the best of ways, you’d be hard pressed to find someone who could equal or imitate what Roger Miller did during his illustrious and ultimately Country Music Hall of Fame career.

Just like his life, Todd Snider’s posthumous album, My Second Rodeo, is unfinished.
