With raspy beer-and-smoke vocals and a tough, Texas-country sound, William Clark Green knows exactly where his music sounds the best – and the rising star captures that with the September 23rd release of his first live album, Live at Gruene Hall. "The guys wanted to change all this stuff up and start [filling the set with] special moments and stuff like that … but I was like fuck that," Green tells Rolling Stone Country about his two-night stand in the oldest dancehall in Texas. "Let's just do what we do and do it really well."

What Green and his band "do" is the essence of Texas music, mixing Southern rock, folk and traditional country into rowdy tales of heartbreak, humor, hard living and hangovers, perfectly suited to dancing and drinking the night away. "She Likes the Beatles" and "Sympathy" have both reached Number One on the Texas Music Charts, and his latest studio album, Ringling Road, debuted inside the Top 20 on Billboard's Country Albums list. But by recording a live album at Gruene Hall – just like his heroes Jerry Jeff Walker and Jack Ingram – Green has fulfilled another kind of Red Dirt dream, standing shoulder to shoulder with giants in a building that is itself legendary.

Built in 1878 and hardly changed since, Gruene Hall is a still-functioning historic landmark that keeps the independent spirit of Texas alive and well. During the day it stands sleepily about an hour outside Austin, and at night rocks as a favored venue for artists from Willie Nelson and George Strait to Ryan Adams and Gregg Allman.

"The building is wood, shiplap floors and they creak and move – the whole building shakes," Green describes. "There's no AC. Beer and wine only. It's the Texas music mecca, a 700 to 800 capacity room, standing room, and picnic tables. It's a true dancehall and a beer joint, and it's a blast."
