Listen to the swamp boogie queen of Houston, Katie Webster.
Join the Woodson Research Center for a semester-long series highlighting the audio gems in the Joe Specht collection.
Every Wednesday at 4pm, we'll listen to an LP in the Woodson Research Center's reading room (1st floor of Fondren Library next to the Brochstein entrance/exit). There will also be related archival materials, when available. There might even be a special guest to talk about the album or the people involved.
