Texas Music Source
Our guide to eighty years of Texas Music
Texas music is as diverse as its people. Nineteenth-century immigrants to Texas from the American South, from Mexico, and Europe, shaped a variety of sounds unmatched anywhere else in the United States. Southern blues and ragtime, Mexican orquesta, the waltzes and polkas of Central Europe, all took root, thrived, and were transformed into the rich musical legacy of the state. In this first segment of a new series on the legends of Texas music, the WWW Ranch, in cooperation with the Texas Music Museum, profiles eight Lone Star musicians, all influential in creating the unique sounds of Texas music.
