For those who don't speak Spanish, Dos Borrachos means "two drunks," a designation Kevin Fowler and Roger Creager proudly celebrate with their 2019 duet album of the same name. The veteran Texas country singers were longtime friends and associates prior to making their relationship professional. It all happened when Creager and Fowler found themselves in Mexico on a songwriter's retreats. They wound up in a bar with a bunch of their colleagues, all of whom would eventually wander away from the joint, leaving Fowler and Creager the last men standing. In the wee hours of the morning when the cook gave them tacos "para los dos borrachos," they knew they had their concept: it was time to make music for hard drinkers. Hiring producer Trent Willmon, the pair recorded Dos Borrachos, an album of drinking songs split between new tunes and classic covers, including versions of Merle Haggard's "Bar Room Buddies" and Tom T. Hall's "I Like Beer." The album appeared in November 2019. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
