On the Big Broadcast: Summer Reading
We talk with the authors of some of the best recent books about music: from an award-winning biography of Willie Nelson, to tomes about the Texas Blues. Plus, we’ll ask local music critics what they’re packing away for poolside reading, and catch some seasonal music tips from our listeners. All that and more on our summertime reading edition of Texas Music Matters. You can hear the broadcast at 90.5 FM on your radio dial Friday at noon and again on Sunday at 6pm.
