Luckenbach was settled in the mid-1800s by German immigrants. The town's population peaked at around 500 in the early 1900s, but by the 1960s it had dwindled to just three residents. It is perhaps best known for its ties to country music. In the 1970s, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson recorded a hit song called "Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love)," which helped put the town on the map. Today, Luckenbach is a popular destination for live music, with regular performances by local musicians. Read More
