Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Josh Abbott Band formed in Lubbock, Texas in 2006, with Josh Abbott as frontman alongside Preston Wait on guitar, Edward Villanueva on bass, James Hertless on drums, and Austin Davis on fiddle. They built their following through steady touring around Texas before breaking through with their 2010 album 'Small Town People.'
Their 2012 album 'She's Like Texas' gave them their signature song of the same name, though the track's lyrics comparing a woman to the state drew criticism for objectifying women. The band later apologized for the hurt caused by those words.
They've released several albums since, including 'Moving Forward' in 2014 and 'Until My Voice Goes Out' in 2016, maintaining a consistent presence on country radio while continuing to tour regularly across the United States and Canada.
