Texas Troubadours: Texas Singer Songwriters (Jack and Doris Smothers Series in Texas History, Life, and C #20 )
Contributor(s): Harris, Steve (Author), Friedman, Kinky (Foreword by)

The portraits in Texas Troubadours are as genuine and soulful as the musicians themselves. When you look into these faces, you see lives that, as Kinky Friedman says, have known "the road, the cheap motels, the beer joints and half-filled houses, the days when our autographs were bouncing, the long nights of pain and beauty beyond words and music."

Whiskey River (Take My Mind): The True Story of Texas Honky-Tonk
Contributor(s): Bush, Johnny (Author), Mitchell, Rick (With), Nelson, Willie (Foreword by)

Woven throughout Bush's autobiography is the never-before-told story of Texas honky-tonk music, from Bob Wills and Floyd Tillman to Junior Brown and Pat Green. Johnny Bush has known almost all the great musicians, past and present, and he has wonderful stories to tell. Likewise, he offers shrewd observations on how the music business has changed since he started performing in the 1950s— and pulls no punches in saying how Nashville music has lost its country soul. For everyone who loves genuine country music, Johnny Bush, Willie Nelson, and stories of triumph against all odds, Whiskey River (Take My Mind) is a must-read.

One Ranger: A Memoir (Bridwell Texas History Series )
Contributor(s): Jackson, H Joaquin (Author), Wilkinson, David Marion (Author)

A powerful, moving read. . . . One Ranger is as fascinating as the memoirs of nineteenth-century Rangers James Gillett and George Durham, and the histories by Frederick Wilkins and Walter Prescott Webb--and equally as important." --True West "The writing smacks of the truths that are hard-won from a lifetime of dealing out justice--sometimes on horseback, like the Lone Ranger used to do--in a lonesome terrain where your word is only as good as the gun and the reputation that back it up." --Texas Monthly

Lone Star: A History of Texas and the Texans (Updated)
Contributor(s): Fehrenbach, T R (Author)

Here is an up-to-the-moment history of the Lone Star State, together with an insider's look at the people, politics, and events that have shaped Texas from the beginning right up to our days. Never before has the story been told with more vitality and immediacy. Fehrenbach re-creates the Texas saga from prehistory to the Spanish and French invasions to the heyday of the cotton and cattle empires. He dramatically describes the emergence of Texas as a republic, the vote for secession before the Civil War, and the state's readmission to the Union after the War. In the twentieth century oil would emerge as an important economic resource and social change would come. But Texas would remain unmistakably Texas, because Texans "have been made different by the crucible of history; they think and act in different ways, according to the history that shaped their hearts and minds".
