Description
Book SynopsisKinky Friedman, the original Texas Jewboy, takes us on a rollicking, rock-and-rolling tour of his favourite city: Austin.
Maybe you want to know where to find President Bush''s favourite Austin burger joint. Or maybe you want a glimpse of Willie Nelson''s home. Or maybe you''re itching to learn the history of a city that birthed Janis Joplin, Stevie Ray Vaughan and countless other music legends.

So put on your co
