Alvin has worked along side James White for years writing songs together and producing records on Broken Spoke Records. James is also the godfather to Alvin's youngest son, Josh Crow.

Dale Watson & His Lone Stars

Dale Watson, "the silver wolverine", is the founder of Ameripolitan music. Dale, along with a few other musicians including Ray Benson, decided that the kind of country music they were playing wasn't really considered country anymore by radio stations etc. The kind of country they play doesn't even barely resemble the country coming out of Nashville these days so they started Ameripolitan Music which encompasses, outlaw, western swing, honk-tonk and rockabilly.
