Mucho Mojo is the basis for the second season of the new Sundance TV series Hap and Leonard. Hap and Leonard return in this incredible, mad-dash thriller, loaded with crack addicts, a serial killer, and a body count. Leonard is still nursing the injuries he sustained in the duo's last wild undertaking when he learns that his Uncle Chester has passed. Hap is of course going to be there for his best friend, and when the two are cleaning up Uncle Chester's dilapidated house, they uncover a dark little secret beneath the house's rotting floor boards—a small skeleton buried in a trunk. Hap wants to call the police. Leonard, being a black man in east Texas, persuades him this is not a good idea, and together they set out to clear Chester's name on their own. The only things standing in their way is a houseful of felons, a vicious killer, and possibly themselves.

This electric blues guitar approach to playing roots music dives deep into gear, right and left-hand technique, and advanced soloing and rhythm accompaniment concepts, including “partial” chords that can be used creatively while a bass guitarist supplies the missing primary chord tones. The author provides unique insights on harmonically intense chord voicings as well as a fresh look at phrasing and thematic soloing ideas. A pragmatic approach to comping includes custom-built voicings for blues and roots styles, a section dedicated to Freddie Green chord forms, 12-bar maps with various turnarounds, and an introduction to the concept of layered rhythm parts. The section on soloing delves into applying chord tones for more expansive ideas; it contains fretboard charts illustrating pentatonic scales, the blues scale and the Mixolydian mode and suggests opportunities for tension and release by applying diminished and altered dominant subterfuge. The book’s excellent play-along guitar, bass and drums companion recordings in jump and funk blues, rockabilly, Latin, and Cajun styles will be useful not only as rhythm guitar examples and backup tracks for lead playing, but also for songwriters who want something more than a metronome or drum track for lyric inspiration and phrasing accuracy. Musical examples are shown in standard notation and tab, extended fretboard diagrams plus the Nashville numbering system, making it easy to play chord backup in any key like a pro.

Joe R. Lansdale (b. 1951), the award-winning author of such novels as Cold in July (1989) and The Bottoms (2000), as well as the popular Hap and Leonard series, has been publishing novels since 1981. Lansdale has developed a tremendous cult audience willing to follow him into any genre he chooses to write in, including horror, western, crime, adventure, and fantasy. Within these genres, his stories, novels, and novellas explore friendship, race, and life in East Texas. His distinctive voice is often funny and always unique, as characterized by such works as Bubba Ho-Tep (1994), a novella that centers on Elvis Presley, his friend who believes himself to be John F. Kennedy, and a soul-sucking ancient mummy. This same novella won a Bram Stoker Award, one of the ten Bram Stoker Awards given to Lansdale thus far in his illustrious career. Wielding a talent that extends beyond the page to the screen, Landsdale has also written episodes for Batman: The Animated Series and Superman: The Animated Series. Conversations with Joe R. Lansdale brings together interviews from newspapers, magazines, and podcasts conducted throughout the prolific author’s career. The collection includes conversations between Lansdale and other noted peers like Robert McCammon and James Grady; two podcast transcripts that have never before appeared in print; and a brand-new interview, exclusive to the volume. In addition to shedding light on his body of literary work and process as a writer, this collection also shares Lansdale’s thoughts on comics, atheism, and martial arts.
