Brooklyn James
Music From the Novel 'The Boots My Mother Gave Me'Brooklyn James' twangy soundtrack to her novel The Boots My Mother Gave Me does more than give a clever feminist twist to the title. Her songs serve as chapters themselves, underlining James' deft ability as a storyteller and songwriter ("Moving On," "It's Not Always About You"). This Boots CD finds much in common with Alvin Crow's White Trash Opera.
