Book about Texas music.

1999-02-19 Thread RWarn17588

I'm looking for a book about the history of Texas music, from Buddy
Holly and T-Bone blues to current day. I can't remember the title, but I saw
it in my local Borders store a few months ago. Predictably, it was gone the
next time I went looking for it. Anyone remember it, and is it worth getting?

Could this be "Texas Music" written by Rick Koster?  It serves the timelines
and the artists you are speaking of.  St. Martin's Press.  Published 1998.
Pretty good reading all in all.  Talks about Buddy Holly.   I just got  "The
Real Rhythm and Blues" by Hugh Gregory which spans the blues/soul years in
the sixties.  Quick and interesting reading and fills me in on my misguided
Stax post from a few weeks ago.  Oh well...memory and the best intentions do
not necessarily make an informed post. Sorry about that.

Rick Koster--This is the guy that said Wayne Hancock was Butch's little
brother.  Be careful with this book.  Check out Larry Willoughby's Texas
Rhytm-Texas Rhyme, A Pictorical History of Texas Music.  Also Check out the The
Texas Music Bibliography put out by the Governor's office, it is on the web.
