I was one of the fortunate ones to get an advance copy of this captivating tale ......the journey of brothers of the road making music and living free, yet bound by desires for more and finding less or perhaps just something other than expected or dreamed. Rich in humour pathos and gallant cynicism. Oblivious to the rapidly changing music industry the show must go on for Tex & Howlin Jack, whatever the costs. Pruden is one of Canada’s greatest storytellers you’ve never read ...... hopefully that will change with this his 5th novel.

A Canadian author not to be ignored. An excellent writer, Pruden takes the reader on a visceral, palpable and often poignant journey about road musicians and their relentless urges to be creative and heard. The path is rough and jagged, and relationships intense. I particularly enjoyed the descriptions of roads and communities across Canada with which I am familiar.
