Doug Sahm: With the Sir Douglas Quintet, was Texas' first longhaired rocker. Some stormy San Francisco sidetrips have led him back to the Lone Star State, where he's doing his best to live up to the legend, be it in .rock, country or blues.
T. Bone Walker: First of the great electric blues guitarists. The very first to utilize electric guitar, ,n 1953.
The 13th Floor Elevators: Acid always warped the local cultures according to their own indigenous peculiarities, and Texas was no exception. A sagebrush MC5, or Blue Cheer at least. LS Double entendre raised to .new artform in lyrics..
George Jones: Possibly country ■music's greatest living singer, with over 125 LPs to' his credit. Certainly the most imitated maie country singer. His^marriage to Tammy Wynette 'didn't hurt,, either.
