The Underdog [2LP]

Aaron Watson - The Underdog [2LP]

Originally released on February 17, 2015, Aaron Watsons The Underdog made music history by being the the first independently distributed and promoted album from a solo male artist to debut at #1 on Billboards Top Country Albums chart. Though it was Aarons twelfth album, The Underdogs success sent shockwaves though Nashville, and the music world as a whole, launching hits and fan favorites Freight Train, That Look, Getaway Truck, Bluebonnets and the Texas independent music anthem Fencepost. Produced by Keith Stegall and Aaron, The Underdog took Aarons career to new heights and helped re-shape the country music landscape. It was a pivotal shot in the arm for DIY / independent country artists around the globe. NOW... available commercially for the first time on vinyl, this stunning two record 10th Anniversary set features the original 14 songs/recordings as they were meant to be be heard - with that warm analogue vinyl sound. As an added bonus, Side D features a custom etching of the album cover and the trailblazing and career defining lyric Id rather be an old fence post in Texas (than the king of Tennessee) from the albums closing sing along song Fencepost. From the humble honky-tonks of Texas to multiple sold-out tours around the world. Rolling Stone calls Aaron Texas countrys reigning indie underdog. Aaron Watson is here to stay and is currently writing and recording a forty song album, aptly titled Horse Named Texas, which is slated for release in early 2026.
