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.
