Trini,

Nice work on the review. Chris got a message from Hampton Sides, the author of “Blood and Thunder” which inspired the album, expressing his flattery and appreciation of Ten Cent American Novels.

(Hampton also mentioned his hopes for it going platinum, so keep pushing it!)

(Hampton didn’t mention how lucky he is to have parents who’d name their son Hampton. Hampton Sides. I’m confident that he was born wearing both Buffalo chaps and a holster)

Pretty cool.

Hey guys thanks for the comments. Chris really is amazing it’s just a shame that he doesn’t get the recognition he so deserves. I hope this album will intrigue people to read about Kit Carson and appreciate Chris’s interpretation of it. Thanks for posting that link Olivier.

Here is a link to Dime Novels or Ten Cent Novels

Love this Trini. i have had them on my ‘to buy’ list for ages but i don’t know where i heard them to write it down. i have a feeling Radio paradise may have played some or i’ve read a review in ‘Uncut’ magazine.

Either way, love em, this song i think is stunning. reminds a little of something that Bonnie prince billy would do.

Great stuff.

Thanks so much Trini for this album alert and the interview - plus the seven years of great sex which is for sure an advisability to seize ! I’m going to buy this album right now.

Find here more information about Kit Carson, for those who don’t share the same historical background.
