King's new record kindles soulful, swampy sounds

Former Texas State Musician Shelley King has been creating music full time since 1998, and her song "Texas Blue Moon" was recorded by Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra. 

Shelly teamed again with members of The Subdudes to create her latest record, and fans helped crowd source the independent release "Building A Fire" on her own Lemonade Records. She recently checked in from Austin with Matt Meinke to chat about the record, her earlier years, and more.

Notably Texan airs weekdays from Noon to 3 on KETR. 

Born in Dallas, Texas, Matt moved to the Sulphur Springs area in 1990 and settled in Commerce shortly thereafter. Having dreamed of working in radio since childhood, he began working at KETR while taking Radio-Television courses at Texas A&M University-Commerce in 1993. Matt has transitioned from a part-time worker and pupil of KETR, to the station’s Chief Announcer/Producer and supervisor of student broadcasters. A familiar voice of 88-9 KETR, Matt has hosted such shows as The Late Nite Lion, and can currently be heard as host of Notably Texan.
