🎥 “Yellowstone” is filming scenes with Lainey Wilson in the Fort Worth Stockyards on Tuesday 9/3, according to the Fort Worth Telegram, and we think there should be a Texas Music radio on air personality in the show like maybe…Chuck Taylor from KHYI 95-3 The Range in Dallas, TX‼️

The rate is $110 for 10 hours of work, with overtime pay possible. Applicants can apply online by emailing yellowstoneextrasmontana@gmail.com (add “DFW” to the subject line) with the following details: Two current individual photos (no family photos) Name Age Weight Height Clothing sizes Phone number Vehicle year, make, model, color and current state/city lived in The “Yellowstone” scenes filmed in Fort Worth will be part of the show’s final season, which is set to premiere on Nov. 10. Fort Worth is no stranger to housing film crews for Sheridan-created shows. “Yellowstone” prequel “1883” filmed scenes in the Stockyards back in 2021. The Billy Bob Thornton fronted “Landman” filmed a majority of its scenes in and around Fort Worth this spring. Production is ongoing in Fort Worth on the second season of Sheridan’s “Lioness,” which stars Zoe Saldana, Nicole Kidman, and Morgan Freeman. “Yellowstone” premieres its final season on Nov. 10.

The "Rollercoaster" ride still continues, 20 years later for RRB
Randy Rogers Band releasing the 20th anniversary edition of their sophomore album “Rollercoaster” on August 23rd, which just happens to be Randy’s birthday. The remastered and resequenced edition was produced by Radney Foster and captures the original thrill of the band’s seminal album, while also bringing it into the modern age. Originally released on August 24, 2004, “Rollercoaster” was not only Randy Rogers Band’s second full-length album, but more importantly it catapulted the New Braunfels-based six-piece outfit into the stratosphere. It’s only fitting then that the band would celebrate such a landmark achievement two decades later after what’s been 20 years of wild success. In addition, they will be hitting the road for some amazing shows around the Country in celebration of the release.

Noneya: Does Hayes Carll have a new song or an album coming out? He teased a new song "High" on The Converse Cowboy podcast in June and in an article in Southern Living a few days ago alluded to a new album but didn't give any details. However, we are more interested in the epic quote that Hayes gave in the Southern Living article. He sums up how great Texas is just as eloquently as he crafts his song poetry.
