John and Robin Dickson series in Texas music

In this rich visual history of the vibrant live music scene in Austin and elsewhere during the 1970s and early 1980s, Casey's lens reveals both the stage, awash in spotlights and crowd noise, and the more intimate, backstage moments, where entertainers hold forth to interviewers and friends. As Outlaw Country's cosmic cowboys mixed with East Coast rockers, Chicago bluesmen, and West Coast hippies, Watt Casey roamed at will, capturing on film the people, places, and happenings that blended to foster Austin's emerging reputation as "Live Music Capital of the World."--Publisher
