Texas Alexander was a seminal early figure in Texas Blues and one of the men who helped create the template for what we know as blues today. A superb songwriter and singer he was, rarely, not a musician as well. But look who was on his sessions to play the guitar or be featured in the band. Lonnie Johnson, Eddie Lang, Bo Chatman and King Oliver were just a few! This is an indispensable set.
