Joey Goebel Novel First Among NPR's "Librarians Picks"

My former Higher Step Records label mate, Joey Goebel, was honored today on NPR. Contributing librarian Nancy Pearl named Joey's novel Torture the Artist one of her "picks for a rainy day" (Pearl lives in Seattle).

Back when I was the bassist and vocalist for Evansville, Indiana's Three Hit Combo, Joey was fronting the Henderson, Kentucky punk rock outfit The Mullets. In 2003 Joey published his first novel, The Anomalies, which I highly recommend. His sophomore effort, Torture the Artist, was published last year.

It's good to see Joey honored by the national media.
