The Spirit of Texas Award was established to celebrate the uniqueness of Texas and Texans. It recognizes individuality, achievement, style, independent, innovative and forward thinking.
“To be inducted into the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame and to receive their coveted, Spirit of Texas Award is, as Charlie Russell would say, ‘Big medicine for me!’” said Hampton. “When I look at a list of the inductees from previous years, like George Strait, Cody Johnson, Barry Corbin, Tommy Lee Jones, Aaron Watson, Red Steagall, Lyle Lovett, Bob Wills, Willie Nelson and Don Edwards, well, it kinda sucks the wind out of me! I am mighty proud and honored to join that list!
