Historia
Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson. Before they were household names, these budding legends called Sue’s Nashville apartment—lovingly dubbed the “Boar’s Nest”—home. Sue’s place was an intimate staging ground where a new breed of singer-songwriters—wounded souls, wayward upstarts—would spur each other on to tap into something bigger, realer.

well produce listen with a fun story line.

My nostalgia for the characters in the book may skew my bias but this was a really fun listen. Not to deep, just enough biography and a tale that keeps you engaged wanting for more. The actors portraying the characters were excellent.

Amazing impact during a short life
Revisado: 08-31-21
Such an inspirational catalog of stories. We could all take something away from the tributes and tales of an amazing man that touched so many people. I loved listening to every moment.

Historia
"I’m James Taylor and I’m a professional autobiographer", says the celebrated folk singer at the start of this tender audio memoir. Through decades of music by one of the best-selling musicians of all time, who created classics like "Fire and Rain" and "Carolina in My Mind", James Taylor has doled out his history in the poetry of his work. Taylor says his early life is, "the source of many of my songs", and Break Shot is a tour of his first 21 years in rich, new detail.

The making of an Icon in his own words.
Revisado: 03-15-20
What can I say, take a deep dive into the inner workings of a folk icon. A wonderful short telling of what makes one of our greatest folk singers exactly who he is. In his own words and own voice. I truly enjoyed it.

Historia
Greg Donahue’s The Minuteman, tells the story of one of Newark’s native sons; ex-prizefighter and longtime Zwillman enforcer Sidney Abramowitz, a.k.a. Nat Arno, who took over leadership of the Minutemen in 1934 and made it his personal business to put an end to what he saw as the Bund’s “anti-American” activities. For six years, Arno and his crew of vigilantes battled Newark’s Nazis at every turn. The Minuteman is a story of the ethics of violence in the face of fascism; a forgotten legacy that is as relevant now as it was nearly a hundred years ago.

Historically so important
Revisado: 01-30-20
This is not only well written but the narrator brings the story to life in a very well spoken manner. Historically, we need to ensure that these biographical tales get shared over and over again so that we don't repeat the past. Thank you to the author, narrator and Audible for keeping history alive.

Mike Continues to keep us on our toes.
Revisado: 12-07-19
Mike Rowe takes you on twisted tails that have you believing you know how it is going to end but then it zigs at the last moment revealing it is somewhat different then you expected. While doing so we learn so much more about him. Fans of his podcast may have heard some of the tales but this takes a deeper dive and offers so much more.

Amazing tales in his own words.

Tremendously impactful tales of a man that has been there and done that. Refreshing that it isn't tainted with politics or opinions but simply a great man that has been there when the shit has hit the fan.

A great reminder
Revisado: 04-17-19
Andy does a great job weaving fiction and non-fiction into a parable to help remind us about the important things in life. I have used his writing to help guide my children as well as keep me on the right path. This is another wonderfully written tale with all the right elements to keep us thinking.

Revisado: 01-27-19
This was one of my favorite books about the Appalachian Trail. You feel as if you are on the journey and wish it would never stop. It's a first person journey that takes you from the why to the why not. As a trail book it does a great job taking you from Springer to Katahdin. Inspiring in so many ways to get out there and live the adventure as well as serve others whenever you can.
