Description: |
A mythical and musical tale by the author of the short-story collection, "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven". The novel is about an American Indian, Catholic rock-and-roll band, and is a humorous and ultimately redemptive story about God, alcoholism, family, hunger, sex and death. |
Synopsis: |
Only Big Mom can help when you've made a deal with the Devil. Robert Johnson, legendary blues man, arrives at the Spokane Reservation looking for relief. Thomas Builds-the-Fire shows him the way and finds himself owner of the great man's guitar. So, with Victor Joseph, Junior Polatkin and Chess and Checkers Warm Water, he hits the road, taking their four-and-a-half-chord rock and blues band to reservation bars, small town taverns, and the urban landscapes of Seattle and Manhattan. |
