Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Alger "Texas" Alexander (September 12, 1900 April 16, 1954) was a blues singer from Jewett, Texas. He was the cousin and uncle of Texas country blues guitarists Lightnin' Hopkins and Frankie Lee Sims respectively. A short man with a big, deep voice, Alexander started his career performing on the streets and at local parties and picnics in the Brazos River bottomlands, where he sometimes worked with Blind Lemon Jefferson. In 1927 he began a recording career that continued into the 1930s, recording sides for the Okeh and Vocalion labels in New York, San Antonio, and Fort Worth. In November 1928, Alexander recorded what has been believed by some to be the earliest version of "The House of the Rising Sun." However it is actually a completely different song called The Rising Sun. Other songs he recorded include "Mama's Bad Luck Child," "Sittin' on a Log," "Texas Special," "Broken Yo Yo" and "Don't You Wish Your Baby was Built Up Like Mine?"
