  In 2021, Texas Country Reporter celebrates its fiftieth season on the air. Broadcast every week on stations across Texas, it focuses on "ordinary people doing extraordinary things." And at the center of it is Bob Phillips, the show's creator and host—an erstwhile poor kid from Dallas who ended up with a job that allowed him to rub elbows with sports figures, entertainers, and politicians but who preferred to spend his time on the back roads, listening to less-famous Texans tell their stories. 
   
   
   
  In this memoir, Phillips tells his own story, from his early days as a reporter and his initial pitch for the show while a student at SMU to his ongoing work at the longest-running independently produced television show in American television history. As we travel with Phillips on his journey, we meet Willie Nelson and former Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry; reflect on memorable, unusual, and challenging show segments; experience the behind-the-scenes drama that goes on in local television; witness the launching of an annual festival; and discover the unbelievable allure of Texas, its culture, and, especially, its people. Spanning generations, A Good Long Drive is proof that life's journey really is a destination unto itself.

  Merlin: The Power Behind the...

  The most iconic planes of WWII, the Supermarine Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane, DeHavilland Mosquito and the Avro Lancaster, were all powered by one engine, the Rolls-Royce Merlin. The story of the Merlin is one of British ingenuity at its height, of artistry and problem-solving that resulted in a war-winning design. 
  Published to coincide with the 75th anniversary of VE Day and the 80th anniversary of the start of the Battle of Britain, Merlin is the extraordinary story of the development of the Rolls-Royce engine that would stop Hitler from invading Britain and carry the war to the very heart of Germany. 
  The story of the Merlin engine encompasses the history of powered flight, from the ingenuity of the Wright Brothers to the horrors of World War I, and from the first crossing of the Atlantic to the heady days of flying in the 1920s. There is also the extraordinary story of the Schneider Trophy – an international contest wherein nations poised on the precipice of war competed for engineering excellence in the name of progress. 
  And at the heart of this story are the glamourous lives of the pilots, many of whom died in their pursuit of speed; the engineers, like Henry Royce of Rolls-Royce, who sketched the engine that would win WWII in the sand of his local beach; and perhaps most importantly the Lady Lucy Houston who after the Wall Street Crash singlehandedly funded the development of the engine and the iconic Spitfire. 
  Never was so much owed by so many to so few – and without the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, the few would have been powerless. 
  In MERLIN, Graham Hoyland presents a compelling account of how science, technology, and industrial innovation came together to create the Rolls-Royce Merlin. This book is a fascinating exploration of the military and aviation advancements of the 20th century, set against the backdrop of a Europe at war. 
  For fans of Brian Hall (High Risk), Wade Davis (Beneath the Surface of Things), Stephen G. Michaud (Robert's Story), Jonathan Franklin (Cabin Fever), and Peter Zuckerman (Buried in the Sky).

  Naked & Dimed - My Lifelong...

  No, Naked and Dimed isn’t the title of some naughty movie. It’s the name of the latest Psychedelic Mooj album. By “naked” we mean nothing came between guitar and amp (well, besides a cord). We didn’t use one stomp box on anything. What you hear is what we got straight out of each amp. This abridged audiobook documents the project and is meant to go hand and hand with the album. However, with the audiobook, we let you to hear what these amps and guitars sound like with soundbytes. The Naked and Dimed album can be streamed from any digital recording site (Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, etc.) The author will also gladly send you a CD if you prefer. 
  In the old days, “dimed” meant loud—turned up to 10 loud. The hep-cats who came before us used a different expression because their amps went to 12. They called it “clockwising the chickenhead to the max.” Since only four of the amps we used had chickenheads, we’ll just stick with “dimed.” 
  In reality, only a few of the amps were actually recorded at full volume. I love playing my amps totally cranked. However, when we got in the studio and tweaked things to sound “best,” many volume knobs ended up being closer to the point of breakup (6 to 8) than 10 or 12. I guess we should have called the album Naked and Nearly Clockwise Chickenheaded and Dimed, but then you’d have really been confused. 
  This book is really about exploring the tones and textures of 15 vintage guitars and 14 vintage Fender amps. 
  Quite simply, this is the best vintage guitar and amp audiobook you’ll ever hear!
