Ballin' The Jack

Det måtte jo komme. 51 år efter udgivelsen og rundt regnet 60 år senere end de begivenheder, der udspiller sig i bogen. Hvad er det så, denne bloggerkugle, hentyder til? Kort og koncist, drejer det sig om lydsporet til Jack Kerouac's spontanroman 'On The Road'. Eller sagt på en anden måde, musikken og de kunstnere, der er nævnt i bogen og som satte scenen for hans bilture tværs over USA. Albummet hedder 'Ballin' The Jack: The Music From On The Road', og er en blanding af hot jazz, blues og country.
