For a generation disillusioned with modernity and the conservatism of post-war suburbia, the unique blend of rock and country music that emerged from Austin, Texas in the early 1970s embodied both a longing for change and a newfound pride in living an unconventional way of life. With extensive archival research and exclusive interviews with key scene figures, Cosmic Cowboys and New Hicks: The Countercultural Sounds of Austin's Progressive Country Music Scene explores the connection between a unique community on America's cultural borderlands and the innovative music that helped to shape it.
