Title: I'm sorry, but someone needs to defend this book
Review: This may not be the best of the "Best Music Writing" series, but it's got a lot to recommend it. I don't care at all for Dave Eggers' self-indulgent books, but his remembrance of Big Country was sincere and heartfelt. If you're even slightly into Dylan, you'll find Robert Hilburn's interview with him about his songwriting process to be utterly fascinating.As to the complaint that the collection is "rockist," appealing to only a limited music sensibility, my attitude is "So what?" This is the kind of music that seems to strike the deepest chord with most of the best music writers.I do strongly agree that the book could have been longer. There's several dozen "other notable essays" mentioned in the back -- couldn't there have been room to include a few of them?
