Up and down and sideways across Texas, Owens traveled. His goal: to learn for himself what the diverse peoples of the state believed in, yearned for, laughed at, fought over, as revealed in story and song. Tell me a story, sing me a song brings together both the songs he gatheredmany accompanied by musicand Owens' warm reminiscences of his travels in the Texas of the Thirties and early Forties.
