We asked our listeners and fans to vote on what they thought was the best TX/Red Dirt song of the year and vote they did. For a week straight voters sounded off and made it a close race between the Casey Donahew Band and the Randy Rogers Band. The votes were tallied and 99.5 The Bear is proud to announce that the Casey Donahew Band's "Breaks My Heart" was voted song of the year.

2011 was a great year for music in Texas and Oklahoma. There were far too many terrific albums in far too little time. While you might not know some of these guys, there were an abundance of albums from Texas and Oklahoma artists that made us turn our heads and open our ears. Take a look at our top 10 albums from Texas and Oklahoma and tell us who you think was left out.
