Summary: In the 1970s, C.B. Stubblefield's BBQ joint and roadhouse in Lubbock, Texas became a gathering spot for an emerging Texas music scene --Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely, Jesse Taylor, Terry Allen and many Texas greats played there regularly lured in by Stubb's great BBQ and beautiful nature. C.B Stubblefield, a former army cook in the last all Black regiment of the Korean War, generously fed and supported both black and white musicians, creating an atmosphere of community and breaking barriers in the still segregated region. Over the years Stubb's fed the likes of Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Emmy Lou Harris, the Rolling Stones, Robert Cray, Los Lobos, Stevie Ray Vaugn and the list goes on.
