Since I'm far from Houston, I don't read the Chronicle anymore, but I found out that a longtime friend is featured in the Local Bands section of today's edition.

"In the land of Dixie" by Joey Guerra

Dixie Trahan sings with "a delicate, soulful voice, which has rightfully earned comparisons to Alison Krauss," but since I heard Dixie long before I knew who Alison Krauss was, I tend to invert the comparison. (You can listen for yourself by sampling tracks from her album at DixieTrahan.com.) I've known her since high school, where her husband and I were best buds (though he was much cooler than me), so it's great to see her talent enjoying the kind of attention it deserves. May it lead to much, much more!
