    Rod: The Autobiography , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 682min
    The long-awaited autobiography of one of rock's true megastars. Rod Stewart (aka Rod The Mod and to a very select few, Dad) was born the working-class son of a Scottish plumber in North London. He was never, as some stories later had it, a professional footballer or a gravedigger, though he did become a bit of a singer - and a fairly good one at that. Rod started out in the early 1960s, playing alongside acts like The Rolling Stones, before his distinctively raspy voice and natural onstage presence caught the eye of the iconic guitarist, Jeff Beck.An often-interesting two year stint with Beck’s group paved the way into the angst-inducing (for the world's hoteliers) five years with the Faces, whose offstage antics with alcohol, hotel rooms, and groupies have become the stuff of legend. And during all this, he found a spare moment to write "Maggie May", among a few others, and launch a solo career that has seen him sell in excess of 200 million records, be inducted into the Hall of Fame twice, and play the world’s largest ever concert. Not bad, as he says, for a bloke with a frog in his throat.And then, there is his not so private life: marriages, divorces and affairs with some of the world’s most beautiful women - Bond girls, movie stars and supermodels - a struggle with steroid dependency, and a brush with cancer which very nearly saw it all slip away. Rod’s is an incredible life, and here, thrillingly and for the first time, he tells the whole thing, leaving no knickers under the bed. Joyously entertaining and at times deeply moving, this is the remarkable story of a guy with one hell of a voice - and one hell of a head of hair. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Vance.

    Night Slashers: An Agnes McCall Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 328min
    Daniel Montague has a secret. A secret so dark, so disturbing that he's pushed it to the back of his psyche and moved on. Unfortunately for him, it's itching to find the light. Down in New Orleans, Daniel finds solace in the winding waters of the Mississippi River. He's found a place that he can put his past behind him, a place that he can call home. He thinks he's finally found peace, but when his past comes knocking on his front door and the town erupts in a wave of brutal murders, he is forced to face a harsh reality. You can forget the past, but that doesn't mean it will forget you. Night Slashers, a gripping thriller riddled with twists, turns and the ultimate betrayal. Excerpt: The sound of water sloshing around echoed like a distant whisper. The wind whistled a muted lullaby as it blew through the trees. A soft gurgle grew louder and louder in Daniel's ears until he realized he wasn't dreaming. A slow, suffocating feeling burned his lungs, robbing him of air. Each breath he took was raspy and shallow like he was sucking through a broken straw. As he lazily opened his eyes, he spit out mud and wiped his face. His soaked t-shirt clung to his back, the other side was glued to him with mud. He was face down in a puddle of rainwater and his own vomit. Shivering, he rolled onto his side and curled into a ball. His head ached like it'd been slammed in between the trunk of a car. The constant pounding kept him from moving any further. His bones felt frozen and he was certain he was suffering from hypothermia. The cold wind breathed the smell of death over his face, sticking to his waterlogged skin. It reeked of spoiled milk and rotten fish. Daniel gagged as he sucked in the foul air. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Woodson.

    Weeper : Death Shall Have No Dominion, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 578min
    They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. The small smile rose again, brightening her face. "I remember well the day of your birth, Augustus.""You do?" Augustus asked.It was then that his brother, Jefferson, pulled him away from her, and her veil again fell like a curtain.Although Augustus didn't know it yet, these were the first words he had ever spoken to his birth mother. He would not uncover this secret for another 18 years.This beautifully constructed family saga spans three generations set all within the macabre world of the civil war era American funeral industry where weepers, warners, death photographers and the new practice of embalming the dead dwelled. For generations, the women of the Fenn family have been traditional “weepers”; paid mourners who attend wakes and weep for the dead. Their counterparts, the men of the True family, are undertakers, or “warners.” The current warner, Archer True is good at his job, but has a vice for whiskey and women, but the latter has disastrous repercussions as he’s also a married man. The weepers were always veiled and always, like him, wore black. The day that he heard a youthful voice from under her veil and it intrigued him. It wasn’t the older, raspy one he had been used to. When he finds himself irresistibly drawn to the "Weeper," Charlotte Fenn, their passionate affair results in pregnancy. The scandal of their unborn child threatens to destroy the reputations and livelihoods of both families.To avoid ruin, Charlotte agrees to give her baby, Augustus, up to the Trues to be raised as the "twin" brother of Mrs. True's new baby. But a mother’s love doesn’t die easily. She may have given up her son, but she vows to watch and protect her Augustus grow up from a distance, secretly yearning to be close to him once more.But every lie has its consequence, and as Augustus grows older, the truth of his origins will soon reveal itself ungekürzt.

    The Woman Left Behind: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 695min
    Jina Modell works in communications for a paramilitary organization, and she really likes it. She likes the money, she likes the coolness factor - and it's very cool, even for Washington, DC. She likes being able to kick terrorist butts without ever leaving the climate-controlled comfort of the control room. But when Jina displays a really high aptitude for spatial awareness and action, she's reassigned to work as an on-site drone operator in the field with one of the GO-teams, an elite paramilitary unit. The only problem is she isn't particularly athletic, to put it mildly, and in order to be fit for the field, she has to learn how to run and swim for miles, jump out of a plane, shoot a gun...or else be out of a job. Team leader Levi, call sign Ace, doesn't have much confidence in Jina - whom he dubbed Babe as soon as he heard her raspy, sexy voice - making it through the rigors of training. The last thing he needs is some tech geek holding them back from completing a dangerous covert operation. In the following months, however, no one is more surprised than he when Babe, who hates to sweat, begins to thrive in her new environment, displaying a grit and courage that wins her the admiration of her hardened, battle-worn teammates. What's even more surprising is that the usually very disciplined GO-team leader can't stop thinking about kissing her smart, stubborn mouth...or the building chemistry and tension between them. Meanwhile, a powerful congresswoman is working behind the scenes to destroy the GO-teams, and a trap is set to ambush Levi's squad in Syria. While the rest of the operatives set off on their mission, Jina remains at the base to control the surveillance drone, when the base is suddenly attacked with explosives. Thought dead by her comrades, Jina escapes to the desert, where, brutally tested beyond measure, she has to figure out how to stay undetected by the enemy and make it to her crew in time before they're exfiltrated out ungekürzt.

    Oh My Goodness
    (LP) Der Session-Musiker und Songwriter ist seinen Solo-Arbeiten seit über 20 Jahren Keyboarder in Kris Kristoffersons Band. Zeitloses Country-eskes Songwriting.Donnie Fritts ist ein bekannter Amerikanischer Session-Musiker und Songwriter. Neben seinen Solo-Arbeiten ist er seit über 20 Jahren Keyboarder in Kris Kristoffersons Band. Seine früheren Platten sind eher von Funk geprägt. Nun geht es ihm um eher zeitloses Country-eskes Songwriting, das durch seine charakteristische Stimme, Fender Rhodes und dezente orchestrale Begleitung unterstützt wird. OH MY GOODNESS IS DONNIE FRITTS' MOST POLISHED RECORD TO DATE, AN ELEVATED AND SLIGHT DEPARTURE FROM THE FUNKY MUSCLE SHOALS SOUND HE'S KNOWN FOR, BUT WITH EVERY BIT THE POWERHOUSE SONGWRITING THAT MADE THE WORLD TAKE NOTICE DECADES AGO. I didn't want to do just another funk album, Donnie says. I wanted to do songs I really love and songs I never got to cut before. People don't make records with 71 year-old guys, he says, his humility always sitting shotgun by his talent. John Paul White, formerly of the Grammy winning duo The Civil Wars and presently co-founder of Single Lock Records and owner of Sun Drop Studios in Florence, Ala., befriended Donnie in 2013 when he asked him to play at the Muscle Shoals documentary premiere in Florence. Later, John Paul insisted the two cut an album. What began as a minimalist work - Donnie's raspy voice and his 1970's-era Wurlitzer - morphed into an amalgamation of fresh sound and honed talent backed by Nashville and Muscle Shoals legends, and rising brilliants alike. John Paul came by the house and I just started playing songs on the Wurlitzer piano. John Paul said, if we do this album, you just play that Wurlitzer, sing the songs, and we'll build around it. Features John Prine, Brittany Murphy, The Secret Sisters, Dylan LeBlanc, Jason Isbell & Spooner Oldham. Donnie Fritts is a Florence, Ala. native and one of many local musical luminaries. He s a lauded songwriter, noted for his tracks We Had It All (recorded by scores of artists from Waylon Jennings and Dolly Parton to Ray Charles) and Breakfast in Bed which he co-wrote with EddieHinton for Dusty Springfield s album Dusty in Memphis. He played and travelled with Kris Kristofferson s band for nearly 20 years, and has released three previous albums-- Prone to Lean, Everybody s Got a Song, and the Dan Pennproduced One Foot in the Groove-- all stacked with hit original tracks.

    Badlands III
    CRAZY MOUNTAIN BILLIES - BADLANDS III 2011 - Extra-Smooth 9000 Records 4**** This is the fourth album of almost cinematic sounds by Andy Bormes alter ego the Crazy Mountain Billies. This disc contains more instrumentals than his previous offerings but if you lose yourself in this music, almost impossible not to, you will find yourself trying to remember what was going on in this particular western film. You may even be trying to visualise what was happening in one of these 'western gothic' movies such as 'No country for old men,' as particular tracks were playing, such is it's grip on the imagination! I'm not too sure how he gets some of the sounds and can't identify some of the instruments but this album is so different to anything else you might hear and consequently is quite addictive. Certainly the dominant instrument is banjo, giving Andy the chance to push his incredibly masterful dexterity to it's limits, but amongst others there is jews harp, acoustic guitar, dobro, national steel bodied resonator, mandolin, fiddle and, I think, synthesizer plus of course his raspy atmospheric vocals, although there are less of those on this album than previous offerings! I've seen his music described as 'an extreme form of bluegrass with elements of old-timey, string band and Appalachian mountain music'! Now you can add 'elements of soundtrack music' and still not really sum up some of the sounds on this series of albums, but don't be worried by the 'series' tag. Each album can stand alone but all are still available so if, like me, you hear one and become addicted you can easily feed that addiction! To get an authentic western feel, Andy told me that he had great fun writing and recording the album in a remote cabin in the Black hills of South Dakota! Apparently there had been some minor sound quality issues during the latter stages of recording, due to his computer playing up and then seizing up completely! Fairly obviously those issues were resolved as the sound quality is now fine! The songs range in length from less than two minutes to eleven and a half minutes which is partly responsible for the scenic/cinematic quality of this album. At times the pace can be quite manic, almost taking your breath away, but stick with it and you will be rewarded! I expect the most radio friendly song will be The hills are black but this reference to those hills is a lot darker (sic) than the Doris Day hit of so many decades ago and despite only clocking in at just over three minutes is epic in texture and tone with it's soaring chorus. The longest song on the album Freight train take me away is extraordinary. It's structure and instruments change regularly almost making it an epic countryfied version of 'Tubular Bells,' but with different instrumentation and added character! It is almost impossible to keep up with everything that's going on and will probably repay many listens! I've lost count of the number of times I've listened to this album, but with every play something different seems to emerge. It's that sort of an album! It takes a lot of time to reveal all of it's nuances, but give it a try, I'm sure you'll be pleased you did! -Mike Morrison American Roots UK.
