Here on one package are fourteen bluesmen, each as different from the others as night from day, yet all are bound inextricably together in their Texas heritage. The selections were all recorded between 1958 and 1988. They range the gamut from the old-fashioned "down home" blues (that has thankfully never gone out of fashion) to the up-to-date urban blues sound yet all of them exemplify that genre known as the Texas Blues.

So, better beware of these Texas Blues. They'll get you hooked if you listen to this album a few times. You will probably wind up liking all of them. /Excerpts from the liner notes by Bo Svensson
