Take a trip with us back to Austin, Texas. It's the mid-'60s through the mid-'70s, an epic era in Austin music history. It's an Austin where state government, The University of Texas, a hippie community rivaling San Francisco's, and a melting pot of musical and artistic expression all converge and occasionally clash. It's a city quartered culturally and economically north and south by the Colorado River and east and west by Interstate 35. This is the milieu in which Sonobeat Records is born, grows, thrives, and finally succumbs, along the way introducing the larger world to a pioneering generation of Austin and Texas singers, songwriters, and musicians.
