A label known as The Numero Group came out with a compilation called Local Customs: Lone Star Lowlands. THis focuses on the Lowland company out of Beaumont, Texas, with all the hope in the world but not the budgets as bigger labels. It is the best.

Guitar legend live in 1988 in NYC with special guests Warren Haynes, Jack Bruce, Mick Taylor & Rick Derringer on Allman Brothers classics and more Previously available as a double-vinyl LP, the CD debut will add seven tracks to present for the first time the complete 1988 concert. In 1969, Betts became a founding member of the legendary Allman Brothers Band, with whom he would make his name as a composer, vocalist, and guitarist.

Double LP + colour insert collectors edition (500 copies) features 32 of the most sought after tracks from the 2CD, 50-track set highlighting Texas rock n roll, one of 4 highly acclaimed titles in Fantastic Voyage s regional Rock n Roll series. Indicative of its independent spirit, rarely has a state offered more musical originality than Texas. From steel-laden Western Swing and dusty, downhome C&W, to flat out Rockabilly and proto-Tex Mex Rock, Texas Tornados is a whirlwind of hot tamale talent; high-steppers, hep cats and hipsters all, whose wild waxings helped make the Lone Star state sparkle on Rock n Roll s map.

It appears as though every area had its own leading funk act(s), and Texas was chock-full of them, as evidenced by the exceptional compilation Texas Funk: Black Gold from the Lone Star State 1968-1975.

A stunning mixture of classics and rarities, 'Lone Star Guitar Attack' encompasses 30 cuts of blistering Texas guitar from the 1950s and early '60s.
