Description:From a childhood spent among such key roots-music figures as Bob Wills and Big Joe Turner, and an extended dual career as a musician and journalist, Michael H. Price has forged this frenzied chronicle of life among the denizens of the vanishing borderlands of Texas' indigenous music scene over the past half-century. Says RECORD COLLECTOR magazine: "Evocative and compelling." Adds BLUES & RHYTHM magazine: "A Garrison Keillor of rock and roll... much to enjoy." And from NO DEPRESSION magazine: "A bizarre artifact! ... A definitive history of Fort Worth's fabled Bluebird Nite Club, ... and everything you really need to know about Fort Worth's would-be music industry supremo, Major Bill Smith." [The] tribute to nearly forgotten black movie actor Mantan Moreland [is a] revelation... His chapter on Austin barrelhouse piano master Robert Shaw is affectionate and fact-filled... [For] anyone with a strong interest in Texas music." And from JUKE BLUES magazine: "A common thread: There were, and still are, many artists working away at their craft, ignoring popular trends and defying the commercial mainstream. Long may they thrive."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
