Reviewed in Record Collector (UK) February 2005 issue -- Patrick Humphries If you think it's only right and proper that our finest songwriters are treated with the same academic respect as Shakespeare and Milton, then you're in for a fascinating read. * Uncut * Those researching the course of modern culture will no doubt find the heavily annotated work of use. * Kerry Dexter, Dirty Linen #114 * The dearth of Cohen interpretations makes this book valuable. Recommended. * Choice *
