Finding Bobby Ray , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 585min

“He realized his worth through the sanctity of those who loved him.”My name is Harley. I was thrown away when I was a child. But I was found by angels that folded me in their wings and delivered me to a safe place. It wasn’t heaven; it was imperfect in ways that mere mortals are apt to gaum things up, but it was close to paradise, especially for a young ‘un, with creeks to swim, hollows, cool, deep woods to explore, and hillsides on which to lay down in the sun, surrounded by fields of wildflowers and the whisper of the wind in the long, waving grass. In this heaven, on the Cumberland Plateau, East Tennessee, I felt blessed to be a child of the earth, which made me feel sacred. I was nurtured by folks who taught me many lessons about humility, the sanctity of simple living, and that family, blood kin or not, like love, is everything. As I grew older, I began to believe I was different from these angels that called me their own. I believed that I was not like them...that I had borrowed my identity from those who found me. Surrounded by their glory, I still felt alone and wondered, worriedly, about my beginnings. A rage filled me that I couldn’t explain and I drifted away from my divine nature, wondering why I came into this life in the first place. After several hard-learned lessons, I felt sacred once more. But my sweet life was interrupted when I discovered Bobby Ray, and was confronted by the unhinged entity that wanted to reclaim him. This is our story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: J.T.

Lake Tahoe, Reno and Beyond , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 235min

This guide, drawn from our complete guide to the Sierra Nevada, focuses on Tahoe, Reno, Carson City, Virginia City and their surroundings. Between Mt. Whitney and Lake Tahoe is the true Sierra Nevada, a land of granite, glacial ice and alpine lakes. Here you will find forests of giant sequoias, wildflowered meadows and steep V-shaped river canyons. You'll read about the local history and get basic travel information, from contact numbers and addresses for tourism bureaus and outfitters to airlines and rental cars. You'll discover the towns and attractions, including the best lodging and dining spots. The adventure sections are packed with detailed advice on how to explore the region on foot, on horseback, on water, on wheels and on snow. Carson City is Nevada's state capital. The city was named after the famous scout, Kit Carson, who explored much of this area. And then there is Virginia City, which has been restored to its former boomtown appearance, once the domain of Bret Harte and Mark Twain. By 1859, thousands of miners still sought gold in western areas where the metal could be retrieved from streams or hillsides. But the gold was playing out in most places and miners were desperate to find new sources. Miners had long complained about a troublesome blue sand that clogged their rockers and which they discarded. That worthless "blue stuff" turned out to be rich in silver and gold as well, and worth a fortune. Today the strike is known as the Comstock Lode. This guide tells you about it all, with color photos throughout. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ted Warren. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/019863/bk_acx0_019863_sample.mp3.

The Weird Wild West: Tall Tales and Legends About the Frontier , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 91min

Space may be the final frontier, but no frontier has ever captured the American imagination like the Wild West, which still evokes images of dusty cowboys, outlaws, gunfights, gamblers, and barroom brawls over 100 years after the West was settled. A constant fixture in American pop culture, the 19th-century American West continues to be vividly and colorfully portrayed not just as a place but as a state of mind. Even for those who travel through the West today, there are plenty of traces of the old times. Ghost towns still stand in remote parts of the desert and prairie, Native American rock art still tell their mute legends, and old prospectors' mines still dot the hillsides. Even some of the places' names, such as Bloody Basin, Arizona, and Soldier's Hill, New Mexico, have their stories to tell. In November 2014 one lucky archaeologist at Nevada's Great Basin National Park spotted an old rifle leaning against a pine tree; the sun and wind had weathered the wooden stock until it was as gray as the tree trunk, making it almost invisible to passersby. When the gun was examined, it turned out to be a Winchester rifle. The serial number was still legible, and records showed it had been manufactured and shipped in 1882. Some prospector or hunter had set the rifle against a tree more than a century ago and never came back for it. It had been leaning there ever since. As popular as works about the West remain today, the Wild West captured the imagination of people all the way back to the days when it really was wild. Even in the 19th century, its fame spread thanks to dime novels, travelogues, Wild West shows, and theater plays, and people were thrilled by tales of exploration and gunfights. ungekürzt.

California's Wine Country: Sonoma & Mendocino , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 263min

Picture rolling hills, with long rows of vineyards trailing off into the distance. Imagine the early morning sun filtering through a low veil of mist. Think of historic stone buildings perched on hillsides overlooking the valley below, and you can form a picture of Wine Country. No matter where you're visiting from, Wine Country has the ability to transport you, for however long you're staying, to a bucolic world, where exceptional wine flows freely and world-class cuisine is the expected norm. It's almost impossible not to relax and unwind here. Even if you don't come for the wine and the food, Wine Country has something to offer almost every visitor. If you're an outdoor-type, you'll find beautiful state parks for hiking, biking, and nature watching, or you can take to the water and paddle your way down scenic rivers. If history is more your thing, you'll know that the region played an important role in the history of California, and you'll find several historic sites to visit. And if you just want to relax and indulge in some personal spoiling, Wine Country has spas, luxury hotels, limousine tours, and boutique shopping. More than a dozen counties throughout California produce wine, but the North Coast region is by far the best-known. Four counties make up this region: Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, and Lake. Of these, Napa - or more accurately, the Napa Valley - is the most famous. Consequently, it's the busiest and most commercialized of the regions, but it shouldn't be missed. It's a relatively compact region, so it's easy to plan a tasting route. You'll find excellent restaurants and a broad range of accommodations, from luxury resorts to homey B&Bs. North Coast winemaking began in Sonoma County, and this region has managed to maintain much of its country living feel. Aside from wine and food, Sonoma also offers plenty of activities for visitors. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Leesa Williams.

Guenevere

"...catchy and beautiful and brilliant" -Vague Space '...if Noah Lennox spent his childhood at the Renaissance Fair and hung out with a lot of classical musicians and Alec Onsworth.' -Elena Levin, Elephantitis "definitely an act to keep an eye on" -Oceans Never Listen 'All the fucking hipsters or whatever you call them in your respective country will be bumming this band pretty soon.' -No Name-Bebop 'The band's quirky pop-rock-esque sound has caught the ear of a number of music aficionados, and catching them in such a small venue this early in their career should be a real treat...' -Capital Sounds '..one of the best bands I've heard this year.' -Assorted Jazzbeans '...recalls images of Neutral Milk Hotel and Grizzly Bear... a unique sonic experience.' -B3nson Recording Group 'It is only a question of time until they sign to some credible label and are given even more appreciation.' -Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits [Sweden] 'These guys deliever... Guenevere even sounds like it wouldn't be out of place on The Aeroplane Over The Sea... It's a bit lazy to call this folk, it feels more than that, this almost sounds like what I wanted Arcade Fire to sound like...' -These Archives Are Monuments 'Take a pinch of Neutral Milk Hotel's bracing songcraft, add hefty helpings of sonic whitewash à la Sigur Ros, pepper that with a sprinkling of Polyphonic Spree-esque irreverence, and you have something roughly approximating The Crown Vandals. The freakier-than-thou duo has generated a healthy amount of buzz in it's adopted hometown of Montréal, eliciting comparisons to each of the three aforementioned acts as well as freak-folk's reigning weirdo Devendra Banhart.' -Seven Day Vermont The two Tims - Beeler and Keen - are from opposite sides of the world, and following a chance meeting in Montreal their quirky freak-folk-pop-rock music has quickly caught the public eye. Within weeks of recording, their music received attention from blogs and critics all over the world, including Said The Gramophone. With an average age of 19, these two young musicians have insight and ability beyond their years. Hailing from the rustic hillsides of Southern New Hampshire, Tim Beeler's (vocals/acoustic guitar) catchy acoustic tunes draw on his folk roots while his cryptic and inventive lyricism--as well as his curious third nipple--put the "freak" in "freak-folk." Tim was raised by wolves, giving him his characteristic "wolf-like" lisp. While this speech impediment is quite obvious (and debilitating) in conversation, it does not affect him while he is singing. Tim is forced to sing his everyday conversations in order to avoid constant humiliation. He hopes to someday return to his wolf kind. Tim Keen (violin/drums/bass/synth/backing vocals) is a long way from home. A native of Melbourne, Australia, Tim, despite being only 19, has 14 years of classical training in as many instruments as you can name. As a young violinist and percussionist, he has played solo, in bands, and in orchestras on stages all over Australia. As well as his extensive solo work, which is influenced by Dirty Three, Sufjan Stevens and Radiohead, he has composed and performed scores for plays ranging in style from Shakespeare to postmodernism. As hard as it may be to believe, he was not cool in high school. He was recently described by two separate blogs as "from New Zealand". Influenced equally by the quirky, overdriven folk of Elephant 6 bands, the violin stylings of the Dirty Three, the gripping lyricism of Destroyer and Jeff Mangum, combined with a penchant for sing-alongs, catchy melodies, and evocative vocals, The Crown Vandals do folk like no-one else.
