Gypsy Alibi

Born in San Antonio, raised in Lubbock, Bob Livingston drank from the same water that nourished musicians like Terry Allen, Joe Ely, Lloyd Maines, Jesse Taylor, Butch Hancock, and others who were surfing the wake of Buddy Holly, Sonny Curtis, and the Crickets. He then made his way to Austin and installed himself among the progenitors of the Cosmic Cowboy movement, as bass player for The Lost Gonzo Band, musicians who played outlaw country music and broke the rules (and the laws) that didn’t suit them. After that, Livingston took his Lost Gonzo Band on the road to all corners of the earth, from India to Africa to Europe. He eventually made it  back to Texas, and these days Livingston is fostering cross cultural music of all kinds. He’s produced countless albums, written more songs than he can remember, and is excited to tell you about it all in this book, the story of his fascinating life.
