Rusty Reid Celebrates Texas Songwriters With “All Through My Days”

American indie-folk-pop-country-rock artist Rusty Reid returns with a fresh and ambitious project through his new single “All Through My Days,” the first release from his latest album Lone Stardust (Masterworks of Texas Songwriters). The record stands apart from his previous work by focusing entirely on cover songs, each written by artists connected to Texas, the state where Reid was born and developed his musical identity.

“All Through My Days,” originally written by Vince Bell and Connie Mims Pinkerton in Houston, introduces listeners to the spirit of the album with an energetic and distinctive sound. The track blends bright, chiming guitars with brash textures and a lively rhythm that gives the song an infectious personality. Its urban love song atmosphere feels refreshingly unconventional, while the growing dynamics in the later verses add even more emotional impact.

Released as both a single and music video, the song offers a strong first glimpse into a collection that explores the depth and diversity of Texas songwriting. Lone Stardust features nineteen tracks, mixing beloved classics with lesser-known gems carefully selected by Reid. The album honors an impressive lineup of songwriters including Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Johnny Nash, Jimmy Webb, Townes Van Zandt, Kacey Musgraves and members of ZZ Top, among others.

What makes the project especially compelling is Reid’s approach to interpretation. Some tracks remain faithful to their original arrangements, while others are completely reimagined through his artistic lens. Supported by musicians from the Pacific Northwest, Los Angeles, Nashville and even Mumbai, Reid ties the project together with his unmistakable voice and heartfelt delivery.

With “All Through My Days,” Rusty Reid opens the door to an album that feels both deeply personal and creatively adventurous, celebrating Texas songwriting traditions while giving them renewed life for modern listeners.
