The third release from Dave Insley, "West Texas Wine" (2008) features Dave's road band "The Careless Smokers" (Bobby Snell, Vance Hazen, Daniel Jones & co-producer Dale Allen) for a 10-song romp through the landscape of Honky Tonk, Americana and Country Soul music. The set includes AAA rocker & fan-favorite "Beatin' Ya Down," the spaghetti western title track "West Texas Wine," and the acoustic Country ballad "Geneva's Gonna Leave Ya," while the album closes with a dramatic reading of Conway Twitty's "Don't Take It Away."
