About Confessions Of A Maddog: A Romp Through The

Jay Milner was part of a generation of Texas writers whose heyday lasted from the late 1950s through the 1970s. The group was comprised of Billie Lee Brammer, Edwin “Bud” Shrake, Gary Cartwright, Dan Jenkins, Larry L. King, Pete Gent, and (peripherally) Larry McMurtry and Willie Morris. From the musical scene there were “picker poets,” as Milner calls them, such as Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker, Guy Clark, Billy Joe Shaver, and Waylon Jennings. Some of the primary works coming from this generation of writers include Brammer’s The Gay Place, Shrake’s Strange Peaches, Cartwrights’s Confessions of a Washed-up Sportswriter, Kings’s The Whorehouse Papers and None But a Blockhead , Jan Reid’s The Improbable Rise of Redneck Rock, and Willie Nelson’s album Phases and Stages.
