• Track Listing

This Texas guitar slinger took some influence from T-Bone Walker, but ultimately went his own way, recording sides that collectors still seek even as nationwide fame eluded him. Here are 28 of his finest: "Rock Awhile" (argued by some to be the first rock ’n’ roll record), "I’ll Send You," "Is It True," "Let’s Rock," "Drunk or Sober," "Hoy-Hoy," "She’s My Best Bet" and more rockin’ Texas blues!
