This review is from: Daynce of the Peckerwoods (Paperback)
This book of collected articles by the author delves in to the history of Western swing music, Texas rock and roll and Texas blues as well as vintage B movies and R. Crumb. The author is no doubt the most entertaining writer who ever grew up in Amarillo, Texas, and the book is about his personal encounters with the characters he tells about. He has their pictures in the book.
