Americana Music News: Out today: Radney Foster’s Del Rio, Texas, Revisited: Unplugged and Lonesome, a revisiting of his debut solo album 20 years ago.
Foster, then fresh off his collaboration with Bill Lloyd in Foster and Lloyd, quickly established himself with the energetic and impressive Del Rio, Texas, lauching his solo career with classic songs like “Just Call Me Lonesome” and “Nobody Wins.”
This is a re-envisioning of that respected album rather than a remake, re-casting the album in a fresh, acoustic and informal way. Playing with Foster are Martie Maguire, Jon Randall Stewart, Glenn Fukunaga, Michael Ramos and Steve Fishell. Impressive company and impressive album.
