Navasota TX - Blues Capital Of Texas

Blues Alley Vintage Shop 

Located in downtown historic Navasota Texas, Blues Alley is a fun little shop for blues music lovers, and music lovers alike. There is an old slogan or quote "The blues had a baby and they called it rock & roll."
 
Linden Texas born T-Bone Walker and Lonnie Johnson were some of the earliest blues musicians to play an electric guitar.

Blues Alley has antiques, gifts, vintage radio & vinyl records. It also has music instruments, old coins, furniture and other various  interesting and uncommon objects. The people are very accommodating and pleasant to talk to. If your timing is right you might even see musicians playing in the shop. Only 15-20 minutes South of College Station.

Mance Lipscomb Statue
Downtown Navasota TX

Noteworthy musicians from Navasota Texas include Mance Lipscomb, Joe Tex, Texas Alexander, Jerry Jericho and Blind Willie Johnson. In my teens in the 70s I listened to a great AM radio show every Saturday morning from Navasota. It was The Joe Daniels Show. He played some great old classic soul music, mixed with some old school funk blues.
