Highway 59 Revisited: The East Texas Blues

Steve Davis, Kingwood History professor, presented a great program on the blues men and women of Texas. We learned about the development of the music itself, listened to some songs, and got to know many of the singers from the Texas Highway 59 corridor including Lightnin' Hopkins, T-Bone Walker, Leadbelly, Big Mama Thornton and others.
