Our show today focuses on two Texans with vastly different styles. Texas Alexander was as deep and intense as a bluesman could be. An itinerant, details of his life are scant yet he recorded dozens of sides over a 25 or so year period. Eddie "Vinson was something else entirely. Called "Cleanhead" (for a process job gone horribly wrong), Eddie played alto sax and sang in that area of blues that walks the line between blues and jazz.
