Austin is known as the breeding ground for a rich legacy of country and blues singer-songwriters. Bill Neely was Austin's first. Bill Neely bridged the origins of country blues and the modern Texas singer/songwriter tradition. His talent as a writer and singer of Texas country and blues makes him a true Texas music treasure.
