A siren’s tantalizing whisper about road rage and romance; the lure and lilt of it, the need and necessity to create and devour the musical mystery thrills and throbs on these pages… read it and eat it with a greasy spoon in a neon diner at 3 AM in the afterglow of a boisterous gig somewhere in the middle of America. I dare you.

In words and images as gritty and earthbound as they are iridescent and immutable, Elisa Grajeda-Urmston and Tamara Adams lay bare the reality at the heart of the making art dream. This is what hitting the road and creating for a living tastes and smells and feels like. This is what doing that costs. This is why – if the magic is in you – you’ll probably do it anyway.
–Glen Hirshberg, author of Good Girls, and
Motherless Child

I find myself living in many sentences of these poems. They are reminders of where I’ve been, what I’ve felt and where I’m going and what I’m going to feel. Nowadays, the rocking of the bus wheels and the roar of the engine has been replaced by a high speed ceiling fan to help me sleep. The tour bus has been replaced with an RV, and my band has been exchanged for five dogs and a bird. I have no itinerary, just a lot of blue highways and a husband who is a rockin’ guitarist. Elisa Grajeda-Urmston has written this book for the sisterhood of gypsies who rock.
