Publisher's Synopsis
Texas is the land of Buddy Holly and Janis Joplin, Roy Orbison and Ornette Coleman. It's where Stevie Ray Vaughn wailed his blues, and where Kirk Franklin praised the Lord. This critically acclaimed history of music in the Lone Star State covers all these artists and more. From Country and Blues to Rock and soul, Jazz and Folk to Funk and Rap, they are all here. If you are a fan of music - not just Texas music, but all kinds of music - this is a book you will want to own.' - Dallas Morning News'
