It’s always a pleasure to find out about a slice of blues history that I haven’t known about, especially if there’s some music connected to it.
This new find (for me) comes from reading an article in the July 28 issue of Texas Monthly about a long-gone bluesman named Alger “Texas” Alexander. The article is part of the series, “Texans You Should Know” highlighting overlooked figures and events from Texas history.
It’s very possible that Alexander may be well known to some of you, and if so, I apologize for underestimating your blues knowledge. If not, his music should come as a pleasant surprise — he is regarded as quite an important figure in early blues history — the late 1920s and early ’30s.
