Summary
"Many books and essays have addressed the broad sweep of Texas music--its multicultural aspects, its wide array and blending of musical genres, its historical transformations, and its love/hate relationship with Nashville and other established music business centers. Pickers and Poets,… however, focuses on an essential thread in this tapestry: the Texas singer-songwriters to whom the editors refer as ruthlessly poetic. All songs require good lyrics, but for these songwriters, the poetic quality and substance of the lyrics are front and center." -- book jacket. Some violence. Strong language. Adult
