Let It Be (33 1/3)
Frontman for the band the Decembrists, Meloy reflects on his teenage discovery of the rock ethos and early appreciation of the Replacements, to whose work he was introduced by his uncle. Oddly, Meloy doesn't go into much detail about the recording of the album Let It Be. Instead, he offers an interesting coming-of-age story as an appropriate salute to an album and a band that were a consuming passion for him at an impressionable age. A nice period piece.Mike TribbyCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
