Three Chords and the Truth

Three Chords and the Truth Celebrating and preserving under-sung Texas songwriters & musicians while educating the public for their contributions to the craft & culture.

For years I’ve been traveling around the country from antique mall, to record store, to thrift store, to mom and pop shops, and sometimes perhaps the last place you would ever expect, digging for records. The albums i seek out are those of under-sung songwriters and musicians of whom you may have not heard of or forgotten about, that i feel deserve their proper praise and preservation. In starting

three Chords and the truth, we’ve set out to tell these musicians tales and
recognize their contribution to the art of songwriting while doing our part to preserve their rightful place in music history. WHAT WE DO:
- Pressing and releasing never-before-heard and out-of-print albums
- Funding documentaries on artists spotlighting their influence not only on songwriting but the impact their music and lives had on the communities and culture in which they lived

We aim to share stories, some new, some old, & some never told.

Hear ye, hear ye!
I'm thinking it may be time for Round 2 of the "Its Fromholz' Fault" t-shirts.
This time, on natural, just like the original bumper sticker.
$30 gets you a slice of Austin music history.
If you want one, please, please say so below, because I'm taking a tally beforehand to make sure there's enough for a batch to print.
If we get over 50, we'll print!
Pass it on.
Thank you!!!

It’s official!

Three Chords and the Truth blossomed and transformed from an idea I had a couple years ago when I started my current adventure; discovering and making a documentary on Steven Fromholz, The Man with the Big Hat
Three Chords and the Truth will:
- Celebrate and preserve under-sung songwriters and musicians, while educating the public for their integral contributions to the craft and culture.

We aim to share stories, some new, some old, & some never told.

The question we've all been wondering for years.
Here's a little behind-the-scenes from Jimmie Dale Gilmore taken from my interview with him for my upcoming documentary on Texas songwriter Steven Fromholz.

A question we've all been wondering for years.

What a great day!
Filmed an episode of Three Chords and the Truth with the great Bill Carter at Austin’s legendary Antone's.
Doesn’t get much cooler than Bill. What an awesome guy!
Thanks so much Bill! With an abundance of great stories you'll soon see and hear.
From connecting with Keith Richards over their love of Merle Haggard, his love & appreciation for the kings of songwriting John Prine & Willie Nelson, where his love of Country music originated, what made Austin so damn cool back in the 70s and 80s, and more you’ll just have to wait and see.
Bill plays at Antone's on June 26th.
Thank you very much Antone’s! You all are amazing!
Stay tuned for the episode in the coming days!

And a HUGE thank you to the 8th Wonder of the World, Mr. Jimmy Preston for your beautiful camera work.
