The Underdog. Produced by Keith Stegall and distributed by Thirty Tigers (the Americana powerhouse behind recent releases by Jason Isbell and Sturgill Simpson), is a highly personal record, with songs inspired by Watson's faith, his time on the road and the death of his infant daughter, Julia Grace, who succumbed to a chromosomal disorder shortly after birth. Balancing out the emotional spectrum are lighter, livelier tracks about life and love in the Lone Star State, including "That's Why God Loves Cowboys" and "Rodeo Queen."
