Guest Post: Old Town New by BA Tortuga

Hey, y’all! I’m BA Tortuga, resident redneck and playlist junkie.

I’m well-known for needing a playlist to write and this was true even when I wrote Old Town New. That was the olden days when playlists were called mix tapes.

What? It’s true, young’uns. Life happened before Pandora radio. ;-)

This playlist is pure early 2000s county, balls to bones, with a hefty dose of Tim McGraw. Old Town New is the Live Like You Were Dying album and every time I hear the album, I think of Danny’s strength, Quinn’s faith.

Tim McGraw – My Old Friend
Tim McGraw – Can’t Tell Me Nothin’
Tim McGraw – Something’s Broken
Kenny Chesney & Uncle Kracker – When The Sun Goes Down

Toby Keith – Stays In Mexico

Much love, y’all.

Blurb: Danny Avers is a teacher in small town Colorado. Back in the day, before high-speed Internet, social media, smartphones, or streaming anything, Danny’s just trying to live down his wild teenage years and carry on the only way he knows how: one day at a time. The last person he expects to see back in town is Harlan Quinn, his old best friend and former consummate bad boy. And when he finds out Quinn is the new sheriff and his new neighbor, it’s even more of a shock.

Quinn knows there’s more to his old hometown than meets the eye. There’s more to Danny than old memories and quiet living too. But as in the past, stirring things up is Quinn’s specialty, and he sets out to do that, in more ways than one, pushing Danny to admit there’s more to life and that their old town just might manage to be new again. That’s if old town thinking doesn’t get them both killed.
