Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. This review is an unbiased review of a book I received free of charge from LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Sins in Blue is an unassuming little novel that could be called a coming-of-age story, an exiting-life story, a music story or just a plain good novel. The author obviously has a love of music. His descriptions of the music scenes carry us off into blues bars of yore. His different timeline settings feel authentic, as does the conversation and action. Not action in the high-octane sense of the word; this book is a beautiful character study. Some might call it slow-moving but I call it over too quickly. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. I normally don't award five stars to books in the early reviewing program.Let's make an exception for this one. It earned it. It's a story about an old - white! - blues man, searched out by a college kid in 1969 who dreams about making a fortune as a music manager discovering the real inventor of rock'n'roll. In a nutshell, it's a piece about the blues like the blues itself. Soul-touching. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

A young man on a mission. An aging musician with a dream. Society perched over a racial divide. It's the 1960s, and nothing reflects the cultural revolution more than music. When Kennedy Barnes, a runaway teen, stumbles upon a rock and roll song recorded by a blues musician in the 1930s, he heads west in search of the man behind the music. Willie Johnson, ex-bluesman, is a motel laundry worker with a bad hip and a dark past. When Kennedy arrives with the promise of riches, Willie wonders if he's finally getting his shot at the big time. But is fame worth the cost of dredging up past sorrows? Sins in Blue is a novel about lost dreams, crippling grief, and the healing power of an unlikely friendship. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I received a copy of this book from Black Rose Writing in exchange for an honest and fair review - and have since bought a paperback copy to give to a dear friend. ( )
