Reviews
Jamaican music incorporates an evolving, ever-changing series of musical styles, and this book the revised second edition of a well-received 1997 reference work keeps pace by including all major new artists of the past four years and all important reissues. Much of the original book has not changed. Additions include a chapter on Jamaican jazz that documents this largely overlooked group of recordings. The ragga section covers such new hip hop-influenced dancehall crews as Red Rat and Mr. Vegas, while a new chapter, "Rasta Renaissance," devotes much attention to the Bobo Ashanti branch of the Rastafarian movement. The first edition of this book was praised by many as the best, most comprehensive reference guide to reggae and Jamaican music. The best just got better. One snafu: the artists' names, set in white against pale orange, are difficult to read, a design problem that will be a nuisance to most readers. Nevertheless, any library that bought the first book should purchase this one, and those that did not but collect heavily in popular culture should strongly consider. This work offers novices a wide variety of recommended albums to search for and is one of those rare reference books that longtime fans will want to read from cover to cover.

Though the first edition of "the definitive guide to Jamaican music, from ska through roots to raga" is only a few years old (it was published in 1997), the "huge number of recordings" that have since become available made this update necessary. RBB
