In the rich history of Texas country music, few labels hold a more curious place than Startime Records, the country division of Dallas-based Abnak Records. Whether performing at the Big D Jamboree or recording in studios in and around Dallas, artists like Ray Winkler, Country Mamma Annie, and Clayton Ford brought the Texas sound to life, full of heartache (yes, lots of heartache), grit, and passion. Heartache brings together excellent recordings from Startime’s modest but important catalog. Each artist, in their own way, contributes to the musical tapestry of Texas country, from stories not just heartbreak and love, but reflections on life in small-town America.
