Great music journalism has a way of captivating even the most casual music
listeners. I defy you to read one of the articles collected in this year's annual Best Music Writing anthology and be able to put the book down with ease. Artists you may have zero interest in come off as compelling in pieces that cover subjects ranging from Matisyahu's rise to fame to the making of Jay-Z's debut album.
