Reviews

  • Melvin's prose grooves just as hard as his bass playing.

    W. Kamau Bell, comedian, author, and director

  • A compelling and immersive journey, not only into music's DNA, but also into why and how it does what it does to us. Conclusion: music is life and inextricably woven into the human experience. A deeply researched and well-written work.

    Henry Rollins, writer and radio show host

  • Insightful, revelatory, and informative

    Meshell Ndegeocello, singer-songwriter and poet
