Product Description
Review
'Guest edited by the US black music commentator Nelson George, it pulls together choice cuts from this year's music journalism. Aside from offering opinion pieces on issues as diverse as a lack of `groove' in indie music to Wu-Tang Clan's current influence, it acts as a showcase for US writers and demonstrates just how different their style can be to our homegrown talent.'
