The latest collaboration between musician, filmmaker and former Skids frontman Richard Jobson and illustrator Jonny Hannah.
The Alabama Song follows the adventures of Lang, the protagonist of Jobson's 2023 novel, The Kreuzberg Sonata. Haunted by the ghosts of his early years in Berlin, Lang returns to open a whisky bar in his beloved Kreuzberg. It quickly becomes a sanctuary for the city's lost and lonely bohemian misfits - a place where a mixture of strongly held opinions and a love of the golden nectar become a passport to new, unbreakable friendships.
The novel is richly illustrated by Jonny Hannah, who captures the mood and vitality of the stories in a whisky-soaked revelry.
Jonny explains...
"As a resident of Darktown, my own imaginary place, I was delighted when Richard asked me to illustrate his imaginary bar, The Alabama Song, serving only the finest water of life. I found the chapters, small vignettes of everyday life, in the very real area of Kreuzberg in Berlin, fascinating."
