Houston journalist Allan Turner has been a long-time student of Texas and the South,
both on and off the job. In his more than 20 years at the Houston Chronicle, Turner has held a variety of editing and reporting
positions, including a journalistic tour of duty as roving state reporter. Now a
senior city-side reporter, he also has worked in Amarillo, Austin, and San Antonio.
Turner has contributed to Texas Folklore Society publications, and is coauthor of
Transparent Tales: An Attic Full of Texas Ghosts,
with Chronicle reporter Richard Stewart. The musical
performance and oral history recordings in the collection are outgrowths of Turner's
study of southern culture and history. Many of the recordings were made during a
ten-year "Alan Lomax phase" in which Turner
traversed Texas and Louisiana in search of authentic folk expression.
Articles, audiocassettes and audio compact discs comprise the Allan Turner
Collection, 1972-2011, containing Allan Turner's oral interviews and musical
recordings with musicians spanning a wide range of musical genres, including
conjunto, blues, country and western, Czech and German. The collection also contains
assorted oral history interviews with individuals from Texas and the South
documenting social issues, local history and personal recollections.
