Rum, Sodomy and the Lash, by Jeffrey T. Roesgen

My favorite books in the 33 1/3 series are those that deeply illuminate the creation of an album or that weave a compelling fiction out of the album’s raw materials. This edition attempts to straddle the line and, while it provides some interesting historical detail, fails to fulfill the promise of either.
