Book Description
Book Review This collection of song lyrics celebrates both the spiritual and the ordinary; they stand on their own as poetry, and they chronicle the many joys of mountain life. Reading this collection left me feeling as if I had been part of a large mountain family, hearing their stories told around the kitchen table. The comfort and confidence these authors take from their faith in God shines through every page. Their feelings for their home, their family and their Lord permeate each verse. Brown and Barber write songs that are sentimental and nostalgic but never cloying. I think "Ballads, Blues and Blessings" is a volume that readers will treasure. Turning its pages brings inspiration, comfort and joy as the reader explores the memories they've captured in song. Lynn Hotaling Editor The Sylva Herald The authors of "Ballads, Blues and Blessings" have captured in verse and rhyme some of the hardships and joys that families endured during the "hard times." The lines are never out of focus and never overwritten; they are honest and direct. Their songs and poetry also demonstrate the values instilled by their mountain heritage -- their strong faith, sense of humor, and joy in the beauty of each day. The stories contained in this book are very intense and will touch your heart, evoking many emotions while taking you thru the seasons of their lives and the lives of other mountain folk. Their songs about the blues put the experiences of life in perspective and allow you to identify with their feelings; and their songs of praise give credit to their Maker for their lives and their abundant blessings. As for me, having come from similar beginnings, I can relate to many of the songs herein and I can assure you there is something there for everyone. This has been a re-awakening for me. It has been an honor and a privilege to write this book review for my very talented cousins, Kathy and Betty. Bobby Lawson Recording Artist--Song-writer Member Of The Rockabilly Hall Of Fame

Book Description
"Readers will relish this story's superior tension ... A riveting mystery designed to keep readers on their toes." ~Midwest Book Review Laurel Falls, N.C. 2005: "Our small town is in an uproar—there’s a serial killer on the loose in the mountains of North Carolina. At first we thought it was just one tragedy, but by the third murder, the FBI finally got involved. Trouble is, I know they’re looking in all the wrong places. I have a keen sense of what’s really going on, but of course the FBI won’t take me serious. I’ll keep at it—too much at stake. I’m working with Wallis Harding, a well-known musicologist, and we’ve got a theory we’ll keep at till they can’t ignore us. Bluegrass music may sound like something to practice and perform, but we know it’s the key to finding the killer. And keeping our families safe. Usually Della Kincaid, my longtime friend, helps me out when I get into something like this. But she’s too busy with troubles of her own. A former crime reporter in Washington, D.C., she’s investigating some kinda fraud case that a whistleblower laid in her lap. She can't let a good story pass, but the deeper she goes, the darker it gets. Turns out we both have information that could help the FBI, if they’ll just listen to us … before the culprits strike again." ~Abit Bradshaw You'll enjoy this suspenseful standalone mystery because who doesn’t long to find justice in this crazy world? If you love Jacqueline Winspear, Sue Grafton, and Cheryl Bradshaw (no relation to Abit Bradshaw that we know of), you're sure to enjoy the Appalachian Mountain Mysteries series. Get it now—for the rich natural setting, colorful characters, and suspenseful investigations. Murder Ballad Blues is the fourth book—and a standalone novel—in the Appalachian Mountain Mysteries series by award-winning author Lynda McDaniel. Interview with the Author Q: Where does this fourth book pick up in the lives of Abit Bradshaw and Della Kincaid? A: It's a year after the last scenes in Welcome the Little Children, but eight years after they solved the family secrets and lies surrounding Astrid Holt's mother. Life has been reasonably quiet for the two. Abit, Fiona, and their 8-year-old son, Conor, perform regularly with the Ramblin' Rollers, and Della has settled into a natural rhythm at Coburn's General Store. Then everything goes crazy with murder and money-laundering crimes. Q: What's new in the series? A: New crimes, of course--especially the murders across Western North Carolina. Abit and Della get involved, working with new characters like Wallis Harding, a self-taught expert on mountain music, and Ezra Stoltz, an FBI agent. I am especially smitten with Wallis Harding. I named him after Phil Harding, archaeologist with the British television show "Time Team." Phil is such a live wire, and his namesake doesn't let him down. Wallis' physical appearance is modeled after Mick Aston, fellow archaeologist on "Time Team." Q: Why should readers give this series a try? A: Because these are serious mysteries without over-the-top violence. And readers tell me the character development makes them eager to read more: "a pair of unforgettable crime-solving characters," one reader shared, and another wrote, "I became intrigued by and attached to the characters -- Della, Abit, Alex, even the dog, Jake, the villagers and their dialogue." Q: In what order was this series written? A: Murder Ballad Blues is a standalone, so readers won't be confused if they start with this book. Actually, I worked to make all the books in the series easy to understand, wherever readers started in the series. The other books in the series: A Life for a Life, The Roads to Damascus, Welcome the Little Children, Deep in the Forest, Up the Creek, Unwrapped, After Dusk, and Waiting for You (free prequel novelette).

Book Description
These are lyrics that I wrote in my youth, in the 80's and 90's. I was part of the underground scene and travelled all over scandinavia. I wrote lyrics and played bass in Katarakt, The God, Nailgun Portrait and some psychadelic blues bands, but I have forgotten their names. This is, bascically, juvenilia. But some of these lyrics still work, I think. If you want to put music to my lyrics, please contact me. Contact information is on the backside of the book.

The Blues Encyclopedia is the first full-length authoritative Encyclopedia on the Blues as a musical form. While other books have collected biographies of blues performers, none have taken a scholarly approach. A to Z in format, this Encyclopedia covers not only the performers, but also musical styles, regions, record labels and cultural aspects of the blues, including race and gender issues. Special attention is paid to discographies and bibliographies.
