Ken and Barbie Isham are the husband/wife team that makes up the new country duo Texana. (Yes, their names really are Ken and Barbie.) Growing up in Texas they were consistently exposed to the traditions and sounds that make music from the Lone Star State uniquely special. For musically sensitive kids it was a lot like attending classes at Juilliard. Everywhere they turned there was a new lesson in style and technique. Texana's first album Roots Run Deep is an emotionally compelling collection of original songs, all of which Barbie wrote or co-wrote, and Ken arranged, produced, and engineered at their studio, the Mission. It is steeped in the sounds of traditional Texas country music. Just the way it should be.
