Though not one of the best known of the modern Texas blues guitarists, Clarence Green is regarded by his peers as one of the best. Green (not to be confused with the late Clarence "Candy" Green, a Texas blues pianist) did session work for Duke Records in the '60s with Junior Parker, Bobby Bland, and others, and performed with stars from Fats Domino to Johnny Nash. His own recordings have mostly been for small Houston labels. As Marcel Vos from Double Trouble Records wrote, "The Clarence Green of today plays a brand of Texas blues that is mixed with soul, jazz, and funk, not unlike the music of fellow Texans such as Roy Gaines, Cornell Dupree, and of course, his brother Cal Green." /Biography by Jim O'Neal, AllMusic

Here on one package are fourteen bluesmen, each as different from the others as night from day, yet all are bound inextricably together in their Texas heritage. The selections were all recorded between 1958 and 1988. They range the gamut from the old-fashioned "down home" blues (that has thankfully never gone out of fashion) to the up-to-date urban blues sound yet all of them exemplify that genre known as the Texas Blues.

So, better beware of these Texas Blues. They'll get you hooked if you listen to this album a few times. You will probably wind up liking all of them. /Excerpts from the liner notes by Bo Svensson
