Under a Texas Sky
- Artist: Ian Akers
- Year released: 2007
- Genre: Singer / Songwriter
"After the amazing birth of my son in Florida in '03, making a big move to the DFW area in the summer of '04, and the birth of my beautiful daughter in the Fall of '05.....my thirst for creating music was still very much alive. I found an opportunity to devote a lot of time to recording Under A Texas Sky during the winter of '06-'07. Blending some older unfinished works with some new material, arranging Under A Texas Sky was really a tribute to my wonderful family. I think having that as my main theme gave the album a real natural and heartfelt feel that was better left to a more subtle, less produced sound.
Not knowing many musicians in the area, working on a bit of a time crunch, and feeling a personal connection to this album....... recording all of the instrumentation for Under A Texas Sky myself seemed only fitting. Creating this album was both fun and rewarding for me and I hope you are able to draw some enjoyment and maybe some reflection from this piece of work."

The Magnetic Fields Quartet led by songwriter Stephen Merritt is resolutely "indie" so how come their music has been used in a Volvo commercial and appeared in the film Lemony Snicket? More info
