Why read it?
1 author picked Dub as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Veal’s book changed the way that I thought about writing about music. The detailed analysis and academic approach made me realize that it was possible to write about the music that I love in a professional way.

A must-read.
From Eric's list on books to nod your head to: Jamaican inspired music and sounds.
