For fans of The Devil and Daniel Webster and O Brother, Where Art Thou?, a haunting tale of music, ambition, and the ultimate price of greatness.
In the small Iowa town of Le Mars, young Daniel Evans inherits more than his father's battered guitar-he inherits a gift that could make him a legend. Surrounded by the sounds of B.B. King, Muddy Waters, and the Delta blues masters, Daniel discovers he has something rare: true talent.
But talent alone isn't enough. Not when you're hungry. Not when you're desperate to be heard.
The stranger in the red tie has been waiting for someone like Daniel-someone willing to sacrifice everything for their art, someone whose desire to find their musical voice burns hot enough to consume their soul. At the crossroads where ambition meets desperation, Daniel must decide how far he'll go to become the musician he knows he can be.
Steeped in blues tradition and crossroads mythology, Daniel's Blues is a modern fable about the legacy we inherit, the dreams that possess us, and what we're willing to lose in exchange for everything we've ever wanted.
