Scottish writer Duncan McLean travels from the Orkney Islands to Texas in 1995 in the footsteps of Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, creators of western swing, a fusion of jazz, blues, country and mariachi. The journey combines road chronicle, portraits of musicians and vignettes of Texas, culminating in Turkey, Wills's hometown, with humour.
Non-fiction work combining travel writing, music journalism and personal memoir. Originally published in 1997; this edition appeared in 1998.
For fans of Bob Wills and western swing, and for those who enjoy travel writing and Texas culture.
