Veiled Eyes: Lake People, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 686min
A vivid waking dream of giant cypress trees dripping with Spanish moss haunts Anna St. Thais. The trees sit on a black lake that resembles a dark Louisiana bayou with an evocative aura. The dream includes the presence of a man who seems to know Anna all too well and a group of people with strange telepathic powers, sometimes called veiled eyes. An orphan from Texas, she is on her way east to help out a friend when she encounters two terrifying things. Psychically, she begins to see and hear things through the eyes of an unknown individual, a man who knows more about her than she ever would have imagined. The second thing is that she has been kidnapped by a sociopathic trucker intent on making her his latest victim. When she is rescued by Gabriel Bergeron, a member of the elusive Lake People in Northwestern Louisiana, Anna doesn't realize that he is her psychic counterpart and she has been inexplicably pulled to the area. She shares their strange colored gold eyes and their distinctive mental powers. They are a reclusive lot and know that Anna is one of them, but has been isolated by unknown circumstances. She is drawn into their incomparable world, something between that of the Creoles and Cajuns, and much in addition to those. There Anna finds a romantic link with Gabriel and the spine-tingling fear of not knowing who to trust. Her return has disturbed the inner workings of the group and threatens to expose secrets long concealed in the murky Louisiana bayous. There are secrets to be divulged about her past and why she was spirited away as an infant. Anna isn't safe until she discovers the answers she so desperately requires. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Guitar: An American Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 679min
What was it about a small, humble folk instrument that allowed it to become an American icon? The guitar represents freedom, the open road, protest and rebellion, the blues, youth, lost love, and sexuality. Tim Brookes explores with adoration these ideas and how they became entwined with the history of America. Shortly before Tim Brookes' 50th birthday, baggage handlers destroyed his guitar, his 22-year-old traveling companion. His wife promised to replace it with the guitar of his dreams, but Tim discovered that a dream guitar is built, not bought. He set out to find someone to make him the perfect guitar, a quest that ended up a on a dirt road in the Green Mountains of Vermont, where an amiable curmudgeon master guitarmaker, Rick Davis, took a rare piece of cherry wood and went to work with saws and rasps. Meanwhile, Tim set out to write a kind of chronicle of the guitar, as he said, "not a catalog of makes and models, nor a genealogy of celebrities, but an attempt to understand this curious relationship between the instrument and the people involved with it, and how that has grown and changed over time". He discovered that the instrument, first arriving with conquistadors and the colonists, ended up in the hands of a variety of people: miners and society ladies, lumberjacks and presidents' wives, Hawaiians, African-Americans, Cajuns, jazz players, spiritualists, singing cowboys of the silver screen, and bluegrass and Beatles fans. Inventors and crackpots tinkered with it. In time, it became America's instrument, its soundtrack. When Tim wasn't breathing over Rick's shoulder, he was trying to unravel the symbolic associations a guitar holds for so many of us, musicians and non-musicians alike. His journey takes him across the country talking to historians, curators, and guitarmakers. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tim Brookes.

On Bended Knee-The Birth Of Swamp
Eine unwahrscheinliche Fusion von Cajun, Zydeco, R&B, R&R und C&W entstand in der Mitte der 50er Jahre von jungen weißen Cajuns und schwarzen Kreolen. Ironischerweise wurde es damals nicht von Anfang an Swamp Pop genannt, obwohl der Sound eine eigene Identität hatte. Der Begriff Swamp Pop war bis in die späten 60er Jahre nicht wirklich geläufig, bevor er vom englischen Pop/Rock-Autor, Wissenschaftler und Historiker Bill Millar geprägt wurde.

Swamp People: Season 1
Deep in the heart of Louisiana lies Americas largest swamp - a million miles of inhospitable bayous, marshes and wetlands where nature rules and humans struggle to tame it. Many of it's inhabitants are the hardened descendants of French refugees who were forced out of Canada in the 18th century and settled in this harsh yet majestic environment. SEASON ONE of Swamp People takes you on a journey to a hidden world, the bayous and swamplands of Americas southern heartland, where the folks who dwell here live on the fringes of society and are known as Cajuns. Resilient, self-reliant and fiercely independent, the Cajuns of the Atchafalaya Swamp still carry on many of their ancestors trades and traditions.- Shop: odax

Stranded In The Usa-early Songs Of Emigration
Eine Zusammenstellung von Liedern der Auswanderer, die zeigt wie sich die verschiedensten Stile in den USA vermischt haben. Emigration ist eine Grunderfahrung der Moderne. Allein 60 Millionen Leute verließen Europa zwischen 1800 und dem 1. Weltkrieg. Irland, Deutschland, Polen, Italien und die Schweiz waren die Länder mit der höchsten Auswandererquote, aber auch Böhmen, Serbien, Kroatien, Finnland, Norwegen und Griechenland hatten einen Exodus zu verzeichnen. Die meisten Auswanderer gingen in die USA, wo aus der Vermischung der vielfältigen Kulturen der Alten Welt mit neuen Einflüssen eigene amerikanische Traditionen entstanden. Die Aufnahmen, die auf diesem Album zu hören sind, enstanden sowohl in der alten als auch in der neuen Welt, von 1922 bis Mitte der Fünfziger. Ihre Erfahrungen haben die Auswanderer in Liedern verarbeitet. Da gibt es Songs, die den Abschied als traumatisches Erlebnis schildern, während andere vor Optimismus nur so strotzen und die Tolpatschigkeit der Neuankömmlinge (Greenhorns) frech auf die Schippe nehmen. In vielfältigen Brechungen wurden die Klänge der Diaspora, das ganze Geflecht der europäischen Folk-Traditionen in den USA im Zusammenprall mit der Musik der aus Afrika Verschleppten, zum Urgrund einer gesamtamerikanischen, modernen Popularmusik. Alles floss darin zusammen: die Balladen, die die englischen Siedler mitgebracht hatten, die ausgelassenen Polkas der Böhmen und Deutschen, die Jodler der Schweizer und Österreicher, die Gesänge der schwarzen Bluessänger, die wuchtigen Basslinien der Blaskapellen, der Witz der Calypso-Sänger, die Intensität der Kirchenhymnen aus dem Süden, die wilden Tanzweisen der Cajuns.- Shop: odax
