Lubbock roots-country outfit Flatland Cavalry straddles that line between the Panhandle and the badlands of West Texas with their bright, earthy country ballads and gritty folk ramblers. Vocalist and chief songwriter Cleto Cordero’s honest, smooth songwriting revolves around the vernacular world of West Texas that he’s constructed with dusty, sun-soaked character sketches, brooding self-evaluations, and candid love songs that all have the ability to turn into singalong anthems.
Formed in 2012, guitarist Reid Dillon, bassist Jonathan Saenz, and drummer Jason Albers joined Cordero, quickly garnering the attention of the masses with the release of the debut EP, Come May, in the spring of 2015. Building off successes of Come May, the group released Humble Folks in 2017 and have added Wesley Hall on fiddle and Adam Gallegos as a utility player. In early 2019 the band released their second full length album Homeland Insecurity, followed by their third album Welcome to Countryland in 2021.
Gotta say, I don’t think y’all have a song that I don’t like, but “Wandering Star” was a straight home run. Nothing but bangers in the entire track list.
Broke up with my financee. I remember dreaming about the whole life we were going to have. I still think about a life where we work out. I can't get it out of my mind.
RU-vid music put anything with the same name in the "remixes and covers" section. This isn't a Jane's Addiction cover lol but honestly a very cozy piece of music lmao I love it
Georgetown, TX! I play all your music all the time for my kids. I have played your songs every night I put my daughter to bed for the last 3 years! She can sing most of your songs now!
It's not fair at all, it's my birthday and even though dozens of people have congratulated me the only happy birthday I look forward to is hers. It's been 8 months now and there hasn't been a single moment since then that I haven't stopped thinking about her and today was no exception. The one day when I'm supposed to have a good time and you have me lying in my bed listening to this song on loop imagining what could have been.
I had a girl that was born 3 hours before me. I always looked forward to talking to her on our birthday. We wanted completely different things in life. But we still had love for each other. She died 2 years ago in a car crash. It makes my birthday hard to take as well. Hang in there.
I know this is meant to be a breakup song, but to me, I think it could also represent what it's like to fall in love in the beginning and how you create a world in your head around a life with someone hoping that things work out cause "in a world where we work out" could be someone hoping a relationship will continue and dreaming about what could be. Idk that's just how I view the song.
I’m gonna send an email to the concert promoters but y’all need to come to Calaveras county to the iron stone vineyard concert venue. They have concerts all summer long and they really need some country shit I mean we’ve had Willie Nelson Hank Williams Junior the list goes on and on, but I think we do need some of y’all, and when I say, I think I may not believe.
No, you don’t just make bacon you make bacon eggs, French toast for your family that way when they want to complain when they feel like complaining they also feel like remembering what you did for ‘em except I can’t even make breakfast meat for the people I live with because I wake up at 3 o’clock in the morning and when I make breakfast meat and they’re still sleeping, I catch hell and everything that came with it then hear about it while I’m at work.
