Michael Jandrok said An excellent primer for fans of Texas alt-country. Jan Reid's excellent update of his previously published work is a must-read for any fans of the Texas country music scene, both present and past. Reid updates his book with added chapters and descriptive passages, tracing the development of the sounds and styles that have virtually defined Texas music. This is as much a work of Texana as it is a musical history. It's important writing, and it carries significant cultural weight behind it.Reid's writing is much like the characters that he writes .

Herb was raised in Southern California where he was a part of the fledgling country rock scene of the late 60's and early 70's, even playing with Linda Ronstadt before deciding to move to Austin in the early 70's. Brooklyn? Where did THAT come from?
