BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - Raised on 2000′s country music, Keller Cox would not discover “Texas Country” music until he enrolled for school right here at Texas A&M University.

After becoming a regular at “Hurricane Harry’s,” Cox knew that he wanted to pursue a career in country music, and he is this week’s Free Music Friday.

Cox said that the song he performed, “Good Again, Amen,” from his new album is about seeing social media and feeling like the bad guys are winning.

“I remember I started thinking about growing up and watching movies like, you know, Indiana Jones and Star Wars with Luke Skywalker and those John Wayne movies and how the good guys would always win. So I kind of put pen to paper and got in the room with some good buddies of mine up in Nashville and wrote this song and it ended up being the title track off my new record,” he said.

Cox is playing at the Dixie Chicken’s 50th Birthday celebration Friday at 7 p.m.

You can watch his interview below, and his performance above.
