"No Place For Country" is a Song That I wrote about my "Texas red dirt" Musician friends that are "Country to the bone" but have been told by Music Executives that their style of music is "TOO Country" and that there is just No appetite for that on "Today's Country Radio". From what I see thou, People crave REAL Country music and in a BIG way!

This is the song that won the Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at Merlefest in 2015 (Bluegrass Category). Co-written with Dawn Kenney and David Morris, this demo is recorded by Troy Engle. It was recorded by Valerie Smith & Liberty Pike on her 2017 release "Small Town Heroes," and was Number 1 on a number of roots-music charts.
