I was at a Christmas party tonight and was talking up Texas Swing. A
guy told me to look into Texas Blues - told me that Texas Swing was
fine but that Texas Blues was better.
He gave me three names.
Joe Ely.
Albert King.
Texas Troubadours.
I grew up in Pennsylvania.
You tell me.
To those add Johnny Winter, Albert Collins, T-Bone Walker, Joe Kubek, Jimmie
Vaughan, Lightnin' Hopkins, Gatemouth Brown, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Billy
Gibbons, SRV and so on, it's rich soil to plow.
