Reviews
"What better way to compile a history of musical tradition than to collect the best writings of various critics, fans, and the very people involved in the music as it happened and is happening?. . . vital pieces by Dick Hebdige, the famous Carribean sociologist, pieces from reggae magazines like 'The Beat', 'Dub Missive'. . . The voices Potash picks to represent the various genres all work together to build a picture of these musics that is entertaining and informative."—Ska Tastrophe
"Over fifty authors have contributed succinct, article length essays on these subjects. This book is easy to just pick up and start reading at any given place, with most articles averaging about five pages in length."—Dub Missive, June 1998
"Profiles of Jimmy Cliff, Toots and the Maytals, Bob Marley and other artists combined with articles exploring the growth and development of reggae provide a solid background from which to appreciate the worldwide influences of Jamaica's best-known export."—Publisher's Weekly, August 1997
