Kurzbeschreibung
When Blacklight guitarist JP Kinkaid is asked to introduce Delta session legend Farris "Bulldog" Moody as an Early Influences inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, he's delighted. And when JP learns from young Cleveland music historian Ches Kobel that Bulldog is still alive and living in Southern Ohio, he jumps at the opportunity to meet his idol. Ches, who's working on a book about American blues players, brings JP and Bulldog together. The elderly black musician and the rock superstar form a deep, immediate bond, and JP learns more about the man whose music so influenced him. But when Ches is found dead outside the Hall of Fame, JP is sent his notes on the unfinished book. Those notes contain puzzling discrepancies in what Bulldog has told JP about himself and his history. As doubts rise about how-and why-Ches died, JP knows he needs to know the truth behind Bulldog's life, and behind Ches Kobel's death.

"The Blues had a baby and they named it Rock and Roll."
23. April 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
The strongest entry yet in the JP Kinkaid chronicles.
JP Kinkaid, guitarist with the great rock band Blacklight, suggests Delta bluesman
Ferris "Bulldog" Moody for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Imagine his joy when he
learns that his idol is still alive, just several hours south. Of course, things
are never what they seem. Graceland touches on themes of family, lies, ethics,
and of course, music, food and mystery.
Ms Grabien's strength is atmosphere. Blacklight is fictional. On one hand, too
bad. But then, because of her writing, I absolutely know what "Liplock" sounds
like. I can hear JP's riffs for "Moody's Blues." Elsewhere I have tried to
describe this series as the next best thing to a backstage pass.
JP and Bree step out of the pages, into my life. Ms Grabien's descriptive power
includes showing us a glimmer of what dealing with MS is like on a daily basis.
The odors emanating from Bree's kitchen make me hungry.
She writes in a conversational, first person style. Usually first person is my
least favorite POV, but it works for this series. Being in JP's head is what
gives the books their reality and sense of the moment. I find myself using JP's
language, to the puzzlement of my family. They are not used to the exclamation
"Gordon Bennett!"
I recommend this series strongly, but please do read them in order. Which is,
Rock and Roll Never Forgets Rock and Roll Never Forgets: A JP Kinkaid Mystery

Whoah mama
21. April 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
Richer and darker than earlier Kinkaids, full of the luscious rock and roll detail we long for and expect. Backstage at the Rock Hall of Fame, how the jamming gets done, who plays with whom and how. Told, as always, in JP's voice. There's a death only later seen as murder, there's JP meeting one of his blues heroes, there's a lot of Delta blues history, and there's JP and Bree, after 30 years together still finding in each other power and mystery. Crank it up loud.

I love jp kinkaid
28. August 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I became a fan of Deborah Grabien after reading her "Haunted Ballad" series. I love the JP Kinkaid series. Partially because I am of an age of JP Kinkaid {Woodstock Generation} and remember fondly the edited version of my younger days, but mostly because I enjoy MS Grabien's style. I feel as if I know the characters and the characters stay with me for several days after I have finished a book. The reviewer who commented about the male POV has a valid point but I am female and this in no way lessens my enjoyment and appreciation of this series.
