West Texas has always
been a breeding ground for great guitar players, and Jesse Taylor and John
Reed are living proof of that. When Jesse told me that he and John were doing
an album with Nokie Edwards, it was as if a certain destiny had been fulfilled.
Great musicians find each other, plain and simple. When I heard the record,
I was once again, taken far away to that place I had visited years before
on the dusty Lubbock day.
Call it Paradise or call it Heaven.
Either way, you too, will be taken to that place.
Two Texas Legends have finally made their first record together, after thirty years of friendship. With George Raines on drums, Glen Fukanaga on bass and a special guest appearance by Nokie Edwards of the Ventures on one song make this a special treat for fans of Texas music.
