The Western Wind

Product Information

Description

Was it murder, suicide, or an accident? " From Grove Atlantic: "The Fall Of The Western Sun" was recorded live in Los Angeles and Nashville studios over a span of many years and it is a tribute to the great musicians who played with him. An extraordinary new novel by Samantha Harvey—whose books have been nominated for the Man Booker Prize, the Women’s Prize for Fiction (formerly the Orange Prize), and the Guardian First Book Award—The Western Wind is a riveting story of faith, guilt, and the freedom of confession. Over the years, he has published ten records and has gained the appreciation of many fellow artists (most notably Neil Young and Warren Haynes), who are often credited as guests in his songs. Narrated from the perspective of local priest John Reve--patient shepherd to his wayward flock--a shadowy portrait of the community comes to light through its residents' tortured revelations. Tracks: Rolling Time Train / Everbody's Leaving This Town / Wedding Song / NewBook / Crimson Sparkle Of High Wind Heels / Wild Rose Of Florence / Bad Water / Stop Those Tears / Cast Off The Lines / Sweet Tennessee Nights
