- Ian Penman - It Gets Me Home This Curving Track
- Debbie Harry - Face It: A Memoir
- Patti Smith - Year of the Monkey
Music Book of the Year by a country mile was Ian Penman's collection of essays It Gets Me Home This Curving Track. Astonishingly beautifully written, Penman chooses a set of fascinating subjects, Sinatra, James Brown, Elvis, Charlie Parker, Mod, (and more), and sets about them with sustained yet loving precision. A book for anyone who loves music, music criticism or just great writing.
