Cross Canadian Ragweed Best Songs: ‘Carney Man,’ ‘Dimebag’


Room-filling anthems and biting, personal lyrics define the biggest songs from the Red Dirt troubadours, who after nearly 15 years are reuniting

When Cross Canadian Ragweed, pioneers of the Oklahoma/Texas Red Dirt sound, announced they were reuniting for a 2025 stadium concert this week, fans of the band went into a frenzy. Demand was so high for the reunion show, set for April 12 at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Oklahoma, that Ragweed announced a second concert for April 11.

But those unfamiliar with Ragweed — singer-guitarist Cody Canada, bassist Jeremy Plato, drummer Randy Ragsdale, and rhythm guitarist Grady Cross — may be wondering what all the fuss is about. Josh Crutchmer, author of a series of books about the Red Dirt genre, including the upcoming Red Dirt Unplugged, compiled this list of essential songs by the band. They run the gamut from rockers capable of working audiences into a crowd-surfing, mosh-pit frenzy and intense, country-laden ballads that can silence a room of thousands.
