I've always enjoyed listening to music, and I love learning the backstories behind songs, albums and artists I appreciate. Here's three of those stories.

Which resources would you recommend for a history of Texas?
My favorite history of Texas is Stephen Harrigan's magisterial "Big Wonderful Thing." It is big and wonderful.
The Texas State Historical Association maintains the online HANDBOOK OF TEXAS, which is often very good. https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook
Readers, any other suggestions?
