    Dr.Kathleen Hudson hit the perverbial nail on the head with her first book “Telling Stories Writing Songs” she went straight to the source, the songwriters and musicians to hear their stories about what it is to be a Texas musician and songwriter. She hit all the major influences of Texas music and introduced the world to some memorable characters.This is a great book for anyone interested in music or writing

    Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
    It is good reading; but not a manual for songwriting.
    I recommend it because of the stories and interviews in the books
    are worth the money spent on the book.?
