The highly knowledgeable Thompson delivers an accessible, straightforward, and comprehensive guide to the increasingly popular hobby of record collecting. Good for general readers and vinyl collectors.
A clever, rather than insightful, take on what irks Thompson about the state of the music industry and rock and roll. Sure to cause debates among music lovers.
Thompson is a prolific author, and his experience shows here, with both a well-researched volume for television scholars and an extremely readable overview for Zone's many fans.
Although it requires a bit of prior knowledge of the sport for full enjoyment, this work is overall an enlightening tour. It is bursting with stories and is recommended for general sports fans and nonfiction readers.
Readers looking for more examination of Smith's songs, recordings, and poetry should look elsewhere, but Thompson does a commendable job of documenting her life. Smith fans might find this a good companion to Just Kids, as Thompson does not focus as heavily on Smith's relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe. It may also appeal to readers interested in American poetry and the development of punk rock in the 1970s. Recommended.
Though Thompson clearly knows his music history, he seems to force his approach on the reader and adds little to the understanding of rock or Louisiana history.
