Title: Half-hearted effort at full price
Review: A series that seemed exciting and essential when it started in 2000 now just looks like a half-hearted franchise looking for a new owner. Da Capo have downsized these volumes each year, and at less than 200 pages, this is the thinnest yet. JT Leroy's selections are lazy and predictable, with none of the big names featured being represented by compelling, innovative work. Robert Christgau is typically verbose and incoherent on minstrelsy, and Ingrid Sischy's conversation with Camille Paglia is banal. Tributes by David Ritz (on Ray Charles), Greil Marcus (on Buddy Holly) and Tom Roche (on John Peel) are heartfelt straight reportage, while other pieces are mere news items. Every day the web shows the literary sub-genre of music writing is healthier than ever; other than cost-cutting, there is no excuse for this showpiece anthology to be so lame and lacking in vitality.
