Featured item: Alan Govenar's new book, Texas Blues: The Rise of a Contemporary Sound.
"Texas Blues: The Rise of Contemporary Sound is the finest, most comprehensive roundup yet, at more than a whopping 600 pages and with nearly 500 photos in color and black and white...Yet what drives this massive chronicle more than the images is the rich language of the witnesses. Produced as an oral history, Texas Blues approaches its subject by blues region of the Lone Star State, with additional chapters on electric blues and the saxophone, the California migration, and zydeco. It's an effective medium that allows Govenar to record many aspects of blues, from musical and sociological to political, in the music's own voice." -Margaret Moser, The Austin Chronicle
