The box set starts with the double LP The Real Last Texas Blues Album, which features 18 new recordings by artists who played a role in the Antone’s saga, including Kam Franklin, Bobby Rush, Jimmie Vaughan, Doyle Bramhall II, Ruthie Foster, and Jivin’ Gene feat. Chenier, Benny Turner, Big Bill Morganfield, Kam Franklin, John Primer, Lil’ Ed Williams, the Texas Horns, and Joe Sublett.
