In this extensively researched biography, author Detlef Schmidt
starts with Keith's early childhood, from his birth in 1946 in
Houston, Texas, and on to his playing days. Keith's role in the
late 1970s blues revival can't be forgotten, with his style of
playing and dressing being influential to many blues bands all over
the world. Keith played with all the great guitar players from
Texas: Johnny Winter, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmie Vaughan, Rocky
Hill, Billy F. Gibbons, Omar Dykes, and Alan Haynes, just to
mention a few. As a member of the Austin Blues Club Antone's he
played with nearly all the blues greats during that time: John Lee
Hooker, Hubert Sumlin, Muddy Waters, James Cottan, Jimmie Reed,
Eddie Playboy Taylor. Many of Keith Ferguson's old friends and
musical partners share their memories of a great bass player and
fascinating person, with quotes and interviews from Billy Gibbons,
Johnny Winter, Jimmie Vaughan, Lou Ann Barton, Fran Christina,
Preston Hubbard, Mike Buck, Armando Compean, Denny Freeman, Don
Leady, Thommy Shannon, and many more. Hundreds of never before
published photographs and personal documents are shown for the
first time. The chapters include: the Houston Days, California
Years with the Black Kangaroo band, Early Austin Years with the
band Solid Senders, Fabulous Thunderbird Years, The Tail Gator
Years (earning Keith a Grammy award with the Big Guitars of Texas
band), and the Late Austin Years. As an added bonus Detlef Schmidt
features all the main bass guitars that Keith played with the
Fabulous Thunderbirds and the Tail Gators in highly- detailed
pictures. Included are several pages of music tabs and notation
showing Keith's bass playing style, plus a complete recording
discography!
