Scope and Contents

Collection contains recordings in a variety of audio formats, primarily of Texas musicians recorded on Texas labels; correspondence; lead sheets; and other documents collected by Doug Hanners. Artists include Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators, Shiva’s Headband, Doug Sahm, Alvin Crow, Freddie Fender, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and others. Also included are test pressings and demos sent to Houston producer, Huey Meaux. Some of the Texas labels represented include Houston’s Gold Star Studio which became Sugar Hill Studio in 1971. Meaux had earlier used it for his Crazy Cajun, Jetstream, Pacemaker and other labels. Early psychedelic bands recorded at Houston’s Andrus Studios under the Cinema record label and include Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators. R&B label, Harlem/Ebony, based in San Antonio was co-owned by San Antonio disc jockey, Joe Anthony and E.J. Henke, who owned several other San Antonio record labels. Some small studios, such as the Vulcan Gas Company, set up and recorded in the back of Austin nightclubs.
