Willie Nelson, Joe Ely, Marcia Ball, Tish Hinojosa, Stevie Ray
Vaughan, Lyle Lovett...the list of popular songwriters from Texas
just goes on and on. In this collection of thirty-four interviews
with these and other songwriters, Kathleen Hudson pursues the
stories behind the songs, letting the singers' own words describe
where their songs come from and how the diverse, eclectic cultures,
landscapes, and musical traditions of Texas inspire the creative
process.
Conducted in dance halls, dressing rooms, parking lots,
clubs-wherever the musicians could take time to tell their
stories-the interviews are refreshingly spontaneous and vivid.
Hudson draws out the songwriters on such topics as the sources of
their songs, the influence of other musicians on their work, the
progress of their careers, and the nature of Texas music. Many
common threads emerge from these stories, while the uniqueness of
each songwriter becomes equally apparent. To round out the
collection, Hudson interviews Larry McMurtry and Darrell Royal for
their perspectives as longtime friends and fans of Texas musicians.
She also includes a brief biography and discography of each
songwriter.
