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.
After reding this book I applied for graduate school with the distinct goal of publishing on Jamaican music. I read this book and fell back in love with ethnographic research and the music that I was playing. It also inspired me to write and produce a song related to all of the greats of the genre.
A must-read.
From Eric's list on books to nod your head to: Jamaican inspired music and sounds.
