Matthew McConaughey will always call Texas home. Rolling Stone has an exclusive first listen of the actor joining Gordon Wright for “Texas My Home,” a track written for Pulitzer Prize winner Lawrence Wright’s audiobook Mr. Texas.
“It’s one of a kind/And a state of mind,” McConaughey and Gordon sing. “It’s not just my home/It’s me.”
McConaughey — who was born in Uvalde, Texas, just outside of San Antonio — was once Mr. Texas writer Lawrence Wright’s neighbor. Mid-pandemic, Wright says he reached out to the...

Although the majority of tunes on Shelley King’s Kick Up Your Heels shine a light on her fiery guitar and roof-rattling vocals, there’s another artist whose presence bubbles up from the deep, gritty grooves of the Austin-based blues and Americana musician’s ninth album: Levon Helm. The legendary drummer and vocalist with the Band, who died in 2012, inspired the lead-off cut on the LP, a loving homage titled “Levon’s New Drum Set.”

Saving Mr. Banks (Disney)
How many of you remember Walt Disney and Tinkerbell's opening every Sunday night on his primetime television show? That director John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side) recreates that magical moment is just one of the many small charms in this wonderful movie. Award-winning actors taking on American's greatest children's entertainment advocate seems a delicious proposition. And it is. This is the story of Walt's (Tom Hanks) -- he preferred that everyone refer to each other by their first names on his studio lot -- relentless pursuit (20 years!) of Mrs. P.L. Travers's (Emma Thompson) much-beloved literary classic Mary Poppins.
Director Hancock seamlessly threads two plots together: the trials and tribulations of the backstage Hollywood drama of creating the film version of Mary Poppins, and the Australian-based melodrama of Mrs. Travers's childhood with her loving but tragically alcoholic father "Ginty" Goth, portrayed by the charismatic Colin Farrell.

You don’t exactly get to hear Angels Sing, as the title of the new Christmas-themed movie would have it, but the film comes pretty close. This Austin-set, modern-day variation of Miracle on 34th Street about a father who disdains Christmas features Willie Nelson and Lyle Lovett singing holiday classics, as well as cameos by such music stars as Dale Watson, Sara Hickman, Marcia Ball, Charlie Sexton, Miss Lavelle White and Asleep at the Wheel’s Ray Benson. They deliver a refreshing musical Texan twang to this Hallmark Hall of Fame-style family movie that should enjoy a long
