TEXAS, FLOOD! THE 30 GREATEST TEXAS GUITARISTS OF ALL TIME
IN TERMS OFactual geography pretty much a pipsqueak compared to, say, Alaska. (For those keeping score, Alaska accounts for 665,384 square miles versus Texas' total area of 268,596 square miles.) But if we're measuring Texas' mark on American culture, specifically through music, it's hard to make an argument that any other territory comes close to the Lone Star State's impact. From cowboy prairie songs to Tejano and conjunto music, from Western swing to the blues, from early rock 'n' roll to hip-hop, and dozens of genres and sub-genres along the way, the sounds of Texas have enthralled and inspired listeners in ways that are almost incalculable.
