New release! Fat City Blues by Charlie Brown
Crescent City Heat Season Two
In 1971, Paul Hornung lost his Superbowl ring in a poker game in the section of the suburbs of New Orleans called Fat City. Three generations fight and struggle over its possession, paying the price for their greed.
Fat City Blues, inspired by Richard Wagner’s ring cycle, is the second in the Crescent City Heat series of novellas written and read by Charlie Brown, the writer of The French Quarter Hustle and Dragon Ash and the writer/director of the feature film Angels Die Slowly.

I really liked the energy of the story and the reading. Evocative setting, too. But I never felt any connection with any of the characters, and therefore could find an emotional flow in the story. What happened to them was interesting but not moving.

I really liked this too. It had sort of a twisted fairytale to it as well with the secrets of the ring. I also didn’t feel much connection to the characters, but this was still a very enjoyable listen.
