In 1957 -- when Rock and Roll was still the Devil's Music -- the Beaumont cops bring in Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis? No wonder the Golden Triangle was home to Janis JoplinWere they just looking to fill their arrest quotas?There's not much wrong at all with that line-up, though. Gene Vincent and Wanda Jackson

• Aftermath: Miss Leslie and Heather Myles at Under the Volcano

  Photos by Reg BurnsIt's not often the Wednesday-night act at Under the Volcano arrives with special guests in tow, but local songstress/honky-tonk goddess Leslie Sloan presented Californian Heather Myles to the Houston music crowd last night. If you call 25 totally mesmerized honky-tonk fanatics a crowd. Music usually doesn't start until 8 p.m. at the Bissonnet drinkery, but Leslie and her crew started at 7 and, except for a short break to allow Myles and guitarist Bob Gothar to set up, j

• Aftermath: Wanda Jackson, Queen Mother of Rock and Roll, at the Continental Club

  Photos by Craig Hlavaty​ Wanda Jackson, unquestionably the true Queen Mother of rock and roll, was fashionably late getting on the stage Saturday night at the Continental Club. It was her seventy-second birthday, and she had played Austin the night before. Who could blame her for being a little slow to the drawl? Miss Wanda backs a mighty rockabilly howl in her tiny frame. If you would have seen her anywhere else other than the stage at the CC, you would have wanted to make sure that she got i
