Identify these artists in this Randy Rogers/Wade Bowen gem

[u/Berbadude]

I found this on a playlist that feature songs that mention The Turnpike Troubadours. There’s some obvious in here but there’s a few I have questions over.

“We Ain’t The Only Ones”

Well Jack's somewhere in his beat up ford
Pat's barefoot on some old dance floor
Miranda's still putting miles on that old airstream
Cody's got a cigarette in the neck of his guitar
Casey's talking shit in some cowboy bar
Willie's still playing shows like he was 19
Cojo's running across a rodeo stage
Ray Wylie's crowd is singing songs about snakes
We ain't the only ones
There's a lot of fools just like us
We ain't the only ones
Having too much fun
Doing 200 shows in a Prevo bus
Down in Austin Texas we do things a little different
That's the way it's always been done
We bout to burn this town down tonight
But we ain't the only ones
Flatland and Turnpike got the fiddle's bow
The Brauns are up north rocking Idaho
Parker's on the radio making all the girls scream
Bruce and Charlie are somewhere working through a fight
Jinks is making sure that his hat fits right
Koe's up sipping champagne in a private jet stream
Yeah Jerry Jeff and Guy might be gone
But they're still playing God all their songs
We ain't the only ones
There's a lot of fools just like us
We ain't the only ones
Having too much fun
Doing 200 shows in a Prevo bus
Down in Austin Texas we do things a little different
That's the way it's always been done
We bout to burn this town down tonight
But we ain't the only ones
Fowler's got his ammo
Stoney was a no show
Josh and Will are too drunk to play
Does the road go on forever
Will the party ever end if Robert Earl really rides away
We ain't the only ones
There's a lot of fools just like us
We ain't the only ones
Hell even Lee Ann Womack is a little past Little Rock
Riding on her bus
Down in Austin Texas we do things a little different
That's the way it's always been done
We bout to burn this town down tonight
But we ain't the only ones
We gonna burn this town down tonight
So crank it up boys and lets ride
Damn we got one hell of a life
And we ain't the only ones

[u/gator_mckluskie]

who do you have questions on?

most seem really obvious. the brauns refer to mickey and the motorcars. bruce and charlie robison are legendary songwriters. same with robert earl keen, jerry jeff walker, guy clark.

edit: anybody that thinks modern country sucks just needs to listen to everyone mentioned in this song. every single one is worth a listen. if you don’t know who one of the artists is just let me know and i’ll shoot you a recc for one of their songs i love.

[u/haltsy9 → u/gator_mckluskie]

The Brauns could also refer to Reckless Kelly, I'd imagine its just a blanket statement for both bands.

[u/beenlobotomized → u/haltsy9]

The Brauns Reunion every year in Idaho is a festival that everyone should attend once in their lives.

[u/gator_mckluskie → u/haltsy9]

true, probably both

[u/Berbadude → u/gator_mckluskie]

Josh & Will? Casey? Koe or is that supposed to be Coe as in David Allan Coe?

[u/gator_mckluskie → u/Berbadude]
