Currently reading Gone South by Robert R. McCammon. For those who don't know, McCammon started out in the 80s as a horror writer, then in the 90s turned in a Southern gothic direction. His horror novels (Wolf's Hour, Stinger, Mine, etc.) remain some of my favorites in that genre, but based on what I've read so far in Gone South, the man just has a gift for storytelling. Southern gothic is not a literary subgenre I particularly enjoy, but McCammon's got me turning the pages like a crack addict jonesin' for the next hit. Takes a special author to be able to take a dying Vietnam vet, an accidental murder, a bounty hunter with a third arm, an Elvis Presley impersonator, a mystical faith healer, and a girl cursed with the world's ugliest birthmark on her face and spin them all into a wildly entertaining tale, but McCammon pulls it off.

Well alright then, that's at least three of you whose opinions I respect. Guess I'll have to go check some McCammon out, yeah?

Seriously though McCammon should be ranked right up along King with his turn out of horror books into good ol' storytelling fiction...

This guy is one hell of an author. Read his book Swan Song cover to cover without putting it down. 956 pages of literary bliss.

Raymond E. Feist....."Prince of the Blood".......

Feist KICKS ASS! I love his stuff, great choice. :drink:

 

 

Yep he is fast becoming one of my favorite authors...as I work my way through his writings in the order they were released... :beerbang:

I haven't read the latest stuff, I stopped at "The Riftwar Legacy" books, like "Krondor: The Assassins" and such, I thought it started getting a bit weak, but prior to that he was easily one of my favorite authors... I may have to see what he's doing these days, see if I'm likin' what he's putting out now... hmm, and I have a Barnes & Noble gift card in my wallet... hmm...

    • Did they actually break up? They were releasing albums annually and finally fixed up the production end but haven't heard from them for a while now. Always loved everything they released, personally.  Edit - yeah, 'Be Here' from 2020 seems to be the last album. Allegedly still active, but obviously no recent albums. Would love to hear them add to the discography. 
    • Released back in 2019 on vinyl only in most of the world, the only place it could be purchased on CD was Japan. It is finally available on CD to the rest of the world with the addition of two bonus tracks. One is the usual "bonus" track of a live recording of Go man go, and the other is the song Don't give up which was released at the start of the pandemic as a single. https://townsendmusic.store/product/140275?lf=035f179d9c80928d2d3b155fa72b0731 Follow the breadcrumbs to a sonic treasure trove with Alice Cooper's "Breadcrumbs" EP, which will be available on CD for the first time ever, featuring additional bonus tracks on this edition! Originally released in 2019 as a limited-edition 10" vinyl record, "Breadcrumbs" is a tribute to the garage rock heroes of Alice Cooper's hometown of Detroit. The EP features six tracks that showcase Cooper's raw and energetic take on classic Detroit tunes, including Suzi Quatro's "Your Mama Won't Like Me", Bob Seger's "East Side Story", and the MC5's "Sister Anne". It also includes the two additional bonus tracks "Don’t Give Up", conveying Cooper’s message of hope and perseverance to his fans during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a live version of "Go Man Go" from his electrifying set at Hellfest 2022. The album featured a star-studded lineup of Detroit musicians, including Wayne Kramer of the MC5, Johnny "Bee" Badanjek of the Detroit Wheels, and Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad. "Breadcrumbs" marked the beginning of Alice Cooper's homecoming, a journey that culminated in the critically acclaimed studio album "Detroit Stories", released in 2020. This EP served as a taste of Cooper's profound affection for his hometown's rich musical heritage, making it an essential addition for any devoted fan of the shock rock icon.   1. Detroit City 2020 2. Go Man Go 3. East Side Story 4. Your Mama Won't Like Me 5. Devil With A Blue Dress On / Chains Of Love 6. Sister Anne 7. Don't Give Up (Bonus Track) 8. Go Man Go (Live At Hellfest 2022) (Bonus Track)  
    • New song "Summerlovin" feat. Olli Herman, me likey...  
    • Pretty awesome! I often fantasize about starting an AOR, but I know nothing about making music.
    • Not gonna lie, I kind of like it. Hardly classic Crue, more like something that would have appeared on the Corabi-fronted self-titled album, but it's not bad for an oldschool band trying a modern hard rock song. That being said, I expect my opinion to be a lonely one, and I understand why fans are dogging on it...
    • Hi everybody, my band (Ricky Shindig) just released a cover version of Journey's Separate Ways. Before we were Ricky Shindig, three of us were in a cover band together. As a little "turn back time" we decided to record a cover song while we slowly start working on some new material.  We chose 'Separate Ways' because this song is an essential part of every Ricky Shindig party and one of the catchiest songs ever written. We are looking forward to hearing any kind of feedback   
    • Posted the first few videos when they dropped but realised I had not posted about the album, which is probably as I can't afford it. Not only is the CD $20 ($30 signed), but the postage to the UK is $46.25, which is by far the most anyone from the USA has tried to charge. Their answer when I questioned this was "We don't control the postal system". Now I know US prices are high on postage, but not this high. $30 seems to be the norm these days, but I have had two CD orders from the USA that have cost $9 and $5 (not sure how but I aint complaining). Anyway, the album is already out  
    • Do they really hate the ex-singer so they want to erase him from the previously released albums? They started this process on Diamonds.
