Harry Kollatz Jr.’s debut novel. Carlisle Montgomery, that “Six-foot-five, redheaded, pigtailed, gap-and-bucktoothed, nine-fingered, guitar playing freak.” Smoking, slugging whisky, arm wrestling, entangled with women and men as well as her hard-touring band, ‘The Live Wires.’ A bluegrass band with a Honkey Tonk problem they’re not trying to fix: Purebred American Mongrel music.
