The story of the Texas Gentlemen begins with Beau Patrick Bedford, a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer from Dallas who first made his way into the music business playing in Jonathan Tyler's road band, the Northern Lights. After heading out on his own in 2009, Bedford started producing sessions for other artists, beginning with R&B vocalist Larry Gee. As Bedford developed a reputation for his production skills with acts such as Kirby Brown, the Dovetails, the Roomsounds, and Paul Cauthen, he began working with an informal collection of local players who showed exceptional versatility and worked well together, developing a cohesive sound that set them apart from the sterile technique of many studio pickers.

While many musicians drifted in and out of Bedford's orbit, the core of the group consisted of Bedford on keyboards, Ryan Ake and Nik Lee on guitars, Daniel Creamer on piano, Scott Lee and Matt McDonald on bass, and Aaron Haynes on drums. The group adopted the the name the Texas Gentlemen, and began playing occasional dates in Dallas, as well as backing up everyone from Ed Sheeran to George Strait. The Texas Gentlemen's public profile got a major boost in 2016, when they were booked to play the Newport Folk Festival and were recruited to serve as the backing band for another artist -- Kris Kristofferson -- who was making his first appearance at the festival in 45 years. Kristofferson enjoyed working with the Gentlemen, and hired them to accompany him on tour at venues in Texas.

Later that year, Bedford had booked time at the Fame Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama for an artist he was working with. When the artist bailed on the sessions at the last minute, Bedford had a brainstorm -- he invited his fellow Texas Gentlemen and a number of their like-minded friends to come to Muscle Shoals, hole up in the studio, and see what happened. Over the course of four days, the Gentlemen wrote and recorded 28 songs; the bandmembers eventually picked the 11 tracks they liked the best and compiled them into an album, TX Jelly, which was released by New West Records in September 2017. A major U.S. tour followed the release of the album, as well as dates with Brian Setzer and Paul Cauthen over the next year. It wasn't long before the band were back in the studio working on their sophomore album. Recording at the legendary Muscle Shoals studios in Alabama and the Echo Lab in Denton, Texas, the album saw the group taking on more classic rock and soulful influences. The album Floor It!!! was issued in mid-2020, preceded by the West Coast-influenced single "Ain't Nothin' New."

Here’s my best shot at it:

There was a straw hat searching in the air
To a telephone line [suit didn’t pair?]
It was a genuine act of celebration
On the corner of the victory train station

And the sweating man gave a benediction
Said he looking for a child [of damnation?]
A divining boy they called the 7th son
Tell ya when it’ll rain and when it’s time to run
Then he packed the bags
She would take the boy
Hoping everything would work out alright, oh alright

Preacher raised his hands and gave a shout
Be gone black devil demon take the drought
Said he saw a vision cotton raised so high
The congregation swore they saw it touch the sky
And you know of whom I speak
See the rain drops in his dream
See the water coming down
And they come for it now

But the bondurant women
Don’t give up that easy, no
Even when the mother has a right
Even when she’s got some fight
But everything
I said everything
Everything gonna be alright
Mmhmm mmm

They laugh at the men like leaves that fall down
And it echoes off to those that hold up their ground
The right place to find you won’t keep you from the livin
But you won’t escape from the bondurant women

Cypress in silence
Magnolia bloom
An act quiet in violence
On all it consumes
On all they consume
On all they consume
You won’t escape
From the bondurant women

​@@tushyprincess9775 Were you even alive when there were used car ads on tv? I doubt it. It's funny because those ads were exactly like this. Sorry you don't have much sense of humor princess.
