Customer Reviews

Eclectic, informative and welcoming.

How can anyone give an inclusive and insightful overview of world music? Well, this book comes close. Information is easy to access, a pleasure to read, and I appreciated the effort to suggest works by other artists similar to the one being reviewed. He leaves out one of my favorite groups, Mouth Music, but he more than makes up for it by introducing me to many new artists that I am dying to sample. I also checked out his reviews of works I already own, and found by and large I could agree with his comments. I highly recommend this book.
