Buckwheat Stevenson left too soon. B.W., as he was known, honed his craft in his
hometown of Dallas and later emerged as one of the most important pioneers of
progressive country; introducing a trademark sound that solidified him as a true
Texas music treasure. Stevenson's legacy lives on today, having inspired the
bustling Americana music scene. Now the official release of his final recordings
will re-introduce a true legend to music-lovers countrywide. B.W.'s music
remains at the core of one of the most important American music movements. The
'70s ushered in a new side of country, fueled by outlaw-minded artists
determined to turn the genre on it's head. Raw, rogue, and oftentimes rowdy, the
official first generation of Texas musicians had emerged, with the likes of
Stevenson; Willie Nelson; Ray Wylie Hubbard; Jerry Jeff Walker; and Billy Joe
Shaver at the helm. But, like many of his counterparts, Stevenson had a winding
road ahead of him. As many artist tales begin, B.W. initially struggled to break
into the Austin scene. So the cosmic cowboy headed to Los Angeles to try his
luck; landing his first major deal with RCA and recording his debut album, B.W.
Stevenson; one of eight projects the label would release. B.W. eventually caught
the attention of the town that had once rebuffed him and returned to Austin
where he would reunite with his cohorts, such as Hubbard and Walker, and further
drive attention to the sub-genre he helped create.
