Longtime CityBeat music writer Brian Baker has a new weekly column available at citybeat.com called I Shall Be Released. Read the first edition right here. The column — which will talk about some of the week’s new releases as well as featuring some “flashback” reviews from Brian’s extensive vinyl collection — will run the middle of every week from here on out. —-
Last year, the music section lost some space in the paper, leading us to cut the non-event-related CD reviews section. It was a difficult choice to make; some of us feel reviews are anchor-like when it comes to music coverage.
Pay attention to the music section in the paper and online over the next several weeks as we begin to work reviews — as well as some other features — back into the section. Brian’s column is our first step.
