If you've ever wondered how or why anyone becomes a critic, some of the answers are in Music in a Word Volume 1, an anthology-cum-memoir by veteran music journalist and Trouser Press magazine co-founder Ira Robbins.
The first of three volumes collects articles, essays, album and concert reviews, previously unpublished interviews and other writing mingled with colorful recollections of 50 years spent on a musical soapbox. Profusely illustrated with images from the author's archive.

A lifelong New Yorker, Ira Robbins studied to be an electrical engineer but became a music journalist instead. He co-founded Trouser Press magazine in 1974 and ran it until the end, in 1984. He was subsequently an editor at Video magazine, pop music critic for New York Newsday and editorial director in syndicated radio. He has authored or edited more than a dozen books and contributed to many more. He now runs Trouser Press Books.
