When all else fails, when our compass is broken, there is one thing
some of us have come to rely on: music really can give us a sense
of something like home. With It Gets Me Home, This Curving Track,
legendary music critic Ian Penman reaches for a vanished moment in
musical history when cultures collided and a certain kind of
cross-generational and 'cross-colour' awareness was born. His cast
of characters includes the Mods, James Brown, Charlie Parker, Frank
Sinatra, Elvis Presley, John Fahey, Steely Dan and Prince - black
artists who were innovators, and white musicians who copied them
for the mainstream. In 'prose that glides and shimmies and pivots
on risky metaphors, low puns and highbrow reference points' (Brian
Dillon, frieze), Ian Penman's first book in twenty years is cause
for celebration.
