Fire in the Water, Earth in the Air: Legends
of West Texas Music
by Christopher Oglesby
Published by the University
of Texas Press
"Indeed, Oglesby's introduction
of more than two dozen musicians who called Lubbock home should
be required reading not only for music fans, but for Lubbock
residents and anyone thinking about moving here. On these pages,
music becomes a part of Lubbock's living history."
