BRILLIANT, MUST HAVE BOOK Ann Jamison Amazing image compilation of Texas musicians and personal notes of those featured. BRILLIANT. Not only has Steve Harris captured beautiful and compelling portraits, he somehow was able to talk each artist into leaving us a piece of their mind and heart on each opposing page. The book is beautifully done; it is absolutely a part of Texas music history, a stellar idea to begin with and I thank Mr Harris for sharing some of his magnificent work with us.. GOOD IDEA--BUT!! BILLYBOBUK THE THINKING BEHIND THIS BOOK IS GOOD,PAGES OF PHOTOS OF TEXAS SINGER SONGWRITERS-OPPOSITE PAGE HAS A HAND WRITTEN COMMENT BY THE SINGER.GOOD IDEA.SOME OF IT WORKS VERY WELL, BUT MANY ARE WRITTEN OVER A BLACK BACKGROUND MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO READ, WHOEVER APPROVED THESE NEEDS ANOTHER JOB!!!!THE PHOTOS, INITIAL IMPRESSION IS WELL THAT IS NOT THAT GOOD,SEE THE GUY CLARK ONE?? A BOOK OF TEXAS SINGER SONGWRITERS AND NO KIMMIE RHODES,CHARLIE AND BRUCE ROBISON,LARRY JOE TAYLOR,ED BURLESON,TOMMY ALVERSON,WILLIE,GEORGE JONES???MA
In addition to photography, which he pursues for work and pleasure, Harris climbs mountains, surfs remote waves, skates empty pools, and rides mountain bikes. . STEVE HARRIS is a professional photographer based in Houston, Texas
Needless to say, these kinds of critters are often lonesome, ornery, and mean, not to mention almost impossible to confront or to capture. This should not be terribly surprising. As Barry Antelope says, they write the songs. The songs, after all, have been created by hand and heart from the ragged-but-righteous, weather-beaten fabric of the singer-songwriter's soul. Not only that, they usually perform the songs better than anyone else. "Singer-songwriters have always been the long-suffering, little-celebrated spiritual stepchildren of the bigger, more commercial country music stars. It is no small achievement that Steve Harris was able to corral so many of them into this book." Kinky Friedman, from the foreword
