Hundred Word Reviews: December 2014, Part 1
Another calendar year is racing toward its end. And as I look at the pile of CDs gathering in my to-be-reviewed inbox, I once again find it flowing beyond the shelf’s capacity. So as I do from time to time (and with increasing frequency), this week I once again present a series of capsule reviews. Limiting myself to the arbitrary 100-word count (something I do to mildly challenge amuse myself as much as anything else), I present the first five of these.
Stay tuned for twenty more capsule reviews this week.

About the Author
Bill Kopp
With a background in marketing and advertising, Bill Kopp got his professional start writing for Trouser Press. After a stint as Editor-in-chief for a national music magazine, Bill launched Musoscribe in 2009, and has published new content every business day since then (and every single day since 2018). The interviews, essays, and reviews on Musoscribe reflect Bill's keen interest in American musical forms, most notably rock, jazz, and soul. His work features a special emphasis on reissues and vinyl. Bill's work also appears in many other outlets both online and in print. He also researches and authors liner notes for album reissues -- more than 30 to date -- and co-produced a reissue of jazz legend Julian "Cannonball" Adderley's final album. His first book, Reinventing Pink Floyd was published by Rowman & Littlefield in 2018, and in paperback in 2019. His second book, Disturbing the Peace: 415 Records and the Rise of New Wave, will be published in 2021 by HoZac Books.
