From the press release:

Texas Country sensation Josh Abbott Band is celebrating their fastest rising single to date with “She’s Like Texas,” which landed inside the Top 10 on both the Texas Music Chart (#8) and Texas Regional Radio Report (#7) this week, marking JAB’s third Top 10 smash including previous hits “All Of A Sudden” and “Good Night For Dancing.”
 
Written by Josh Abbott, “She’s Like Texas” is the title track from JAB’s brand new album available now on iTunes and joshabbottband.com.  Produced by Erik Herbst, She’s Like Texas is already causing heads to turn with their incredible debut securing the #28 spot on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and earning a Hot Shot debut nod.  The disc also soared to the No. 3 spot on the iTunes Country Music Albums chart right behind Country Music superstars Lady Antebellum and Taylor Swift on release day 2/16 and secured the No. 35 spot on the all-genre iTunes album chart on 2/17.
 
She’s Like Texas is the follow-up to their debut album Scapegoat, which delivered one of the Top 15 most played songs of 2009 “Good Night For Dancing” featuring Charla Corn as reported by the Texas Music Chart.
 
In the blink of an eye, Josh Abbott Band has gone from an unknown artist to one of the fastest rising young stars in Texas country.  Playing over 250 shows this past year, JAB has been performing to packed houses all across Texas and Oklahoma including Texas hot spots such as Wild West in Lubbock, Cowboys in San Antonio and Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth.  The passion and high-energy characteristic of Josh Abbott Band’s performances come through both on stage and in the studio.  It’s no wonder why the Josh Abbott Band has quickly become a Texas institution—and why its talents can’t be confined for long to the Lonestar State.
 
Currently Josh Abbott Band is playing dates all over Texas and beyond in support of the brand new single with upcoming shows in Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Corpus Christi, TX.
