It’s been too long since we’ve slipped into Patrick’s Book Nook, so here’s one for everyone to enjoy. It’s a look at a book published in 2003 by Rich Kienzle that examines the great artists who worked in the Southwest in the 1940s and 1950s, including Hank Thompson, Speedy West and Jimmy Bryant and Hank Thompson, among many others.
