Insured Beyond the Grave: Published Essays, Interviews & Dispatches Volume Two continues where Volume One leaves off. In this expanded collection of James Calemine's articles, which have appeared in various periodicals, magazines and online publications, he delves further into the world of writers, musicians, film makers, chefs and photographers. Each article provides a pure glimpse into the artist's soul. And maybe even your own.
Historically, time proves rough on artists, however, if they complete their work, or some of it, they remain "insured beyond
the grave" to quote the Louvin Brothers. Reading these stories will inspire joy in contemplating your favorite artists as well as some artists you may never have heard of before this. Calemine believes in art as an inspirational vehicle and that these luminaries should be explored. This is what drives him to write with a commitment that he will operate where soul, excellence and timelessness exist as his only standards.
Insured Beyond the Grave includes memorable encounters with artists such as Chuck Leavell (Allman Brothers, Rolling Stones), Chris and Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes, The Drive-By Truckers, Todd Nance of Widespread Panic, Amy LaVere, Shannon McNally, David Barbe, as well as profiles on Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Zora Neale Hurston, Cormac McCarthy, John Coltrane, Sly & The Family Stone, Larry Brown, and The Georgia Sea Island Singers.
Calemine writes about his subjects with intensity and intent - his goal is to render these untouchable by any other writer. Like the subjects of Volume One, everyone in this book is, indeed, insured beyond the grave.
This collection serves as the second of two volumes.
