(From Dance Halls & Dreamers)

The Texas country singer-songwriter from Fort Worth wins big Texas-lovin' points with his new coffee table-sized book, Pat Green's Dance Halls & Dreamers. The hardback book features profiles of ten old-school halls from around the state, including Sons of Hermann Hall and Billy Bob's. In addition to the structures themselves, the book includes beautiful images of folks kicking it up and of artists who play the halls, including the most photographable of all, Willie Nelson. Town dance halls topped Preservation Texas' recent list of the state's most endangered historic places, making the book not just beautiful but timely.
