Customer Reviews
Great Insights from Texas / Tejano Musicians
I enjoy the real talk that balances social banter, history and musicianship. The stories and insights are great to hear about the artists and music from an insider perspective. The only suggestion I have would be to normalize the voices as there can be volume changes throughout the podcast. Other than that, keep up the great work.
Great!
Great show, you should check it out!
Not from Texas
This show is great even if you're not from Texas, it's great hearing the stories of bands and musicians that aren't in the national spotlight. It give a different perspective than interviews with huge touring acts.
