Read excerpt
Bob Marley & the Wailers: Roots Rock Reggae: Live at the Hammersmith Odeon (Tuff Gong/Island/UMe, 2 CDs, 1:27:21). This excellent, engaging previously unreleased live album from Bob Marley was recorded during the Wailers' four-night residency at London's prestigious Hammersmith Odeon in June 1976, during their Rastaman Vibration tour.

Read excerpt
The American Revolution (2025, PBS, 6 Blu-rays, NR, 12 hours). Directors Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt examine the formation of the United States in this six-part documentary. Each two-hour episode walks viewers through the years of conflict, taking the development of war one step at a time, while examining rising tensions between the colonists and British occupation. The result was a prolonged and bloody battle, which is much more detailed than anything I learned in public school.
