Gregory Spatz s second novel tells the story of Jesse Alison, a prodigiously talented young bluegrass musician, who moves to Nashville from Vermont following his dream of becoming a Bluegrass Boy in Bill Monroe s band. He hopes to find his long-estranged father, himself a musician, who Jesse has heard, now lives in Nashville. Juxtaposing flashbacks of Jesse s past and his earliest connections to music, the novel tracks his progress in Nashville, his edgy relationship with Genny Freed, a violin maker with whom he s staying, and concludes with his confrontation with his father."
