Watson co-wrote every song on the album alongside collaborators including Jenna Paulette, Troy Cartwright, and Joe Fox, among others. The project was produced by Watson alongside Nate Coon and Philbilly, and weaves together themes of faith, family, grief, relationships, and resilience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “I’m really excited for everyone to hear Horse Named Texas<\/em>. I’ve poured my heart into this album, and it truly means a lot to me. Hit that pre-save and pre-order and get the instant grat track, ‘Old Houses,'” shares Watson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “Well, for me, like, I don’t want to say that Horse Named Texas<\/em> is a reset button, but it kind of is. It’s kind of like the beginning of a new era for me,” he said<\/a>. “I’m an artist, let me paint.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Standout tracks include \u201cHardly Friends Barely Lovers,\u201d \u201cPontiac (So Tell Me Momma),\u201d<\/a> \u201cOld Houses\u201d<\/a>, and \u201cGone Fishing,\u201d<\/a> the latter inspired by the passing of Watson’s grandfather. The album’s title track distills the artist’s career-long ethos in a pair of lines: “After all these years I’ve learned that a winner’s just a loser \/ Who keeps on losing till the day they finally win.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
