Riding Shotgun
15 sonic adventures from Noir Rock storyteller Steve Wynn  
By Steve Wynn

   The former headman for The Dream Syndicate is making his way into the world of story lovers everywhere. Already known for his incredible skills for making music that speaks to the inner depths of the heart’s own rhythm, Wynn is constantly re-proving his knowledge of what is really literature in a dynamically genius way. With awesome guitar work and contagious rhythms, Wynn drags us kicking and screaming into his world – a world of renegades, James Deans, and beautiful women.

   I never thought that I would be getting a musical CD to review for this book site, but I can see why it would be sent out to book reviewers. Each story tells a story so enigmatic – so incredibly complex – that the only way you’ll be able to figure it out is to listen to it over and over and over again, but that, my friends, is the reason why this man is a genius. All the songs have previously been released on different albums, but with this “promo-only” CD, Wynn’s created a pulp-fiction masterpiece.
