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. This book, however, focuses on an essential thread in this tapestry: the Texas singer-songwriters to whom the contributors refer as "ruthlessly poetic".
