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 4000-plus 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 regularly hosts lecture/discussions on artists and albums of historical importance, and is a frequent guest on music-focused radio programs and podcasts. 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: From Syd Barrett to The Dark Side of the Moon 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, is available now from HoZac Books. Read even more about him here.
