Texas Blues & Boogie
Mary Karr, writing about her younger self, recounts when she first discovered Texas blues. She reminded me of all those great Texas Blues folk (the 2nd generation white/albino types). As she puts it, they were the exotic ones, the rare birds who emerged out of that parched landscape, the odd ducks who stood out in that the small town mindset and had such an overabundance of that "fuck you," attitude that no one dared mess with them.
