Jacket Blurb:
This is the story of Wade Coley, a celebrated Country and Western musician. He is part devil and part angel. His voice is the part of him that is the angel, that can create such beautiful music. His voice sings with a high lonesome sound about a high and lonesome world, the world of bleak landscapes, remote country places and faceless people, that is the great American Mid-west.
But he himself is the devil. His face is a little mean, and his presence creates havoc in the lives of those around him. They each speak out in their different ways, in this novel, of how they love/hated Wade, how he betrayed them. And in the end of how it was those who made him famous, his adoring fans, who dragged him down and destroyed him.
