Industry veteran Joe McEwen has long had a passion for all things jazz, soul, and R&B, and that calling led him to write for the likes of the Village Voice and Rolling Stone, among other respected outlets. With the gloriously titled Tastykakes, we’re taken through “vivid, compelling, up-front and personal profiles and encounters with a host of important figures: Pops and Mavis Staples, George Clinton, Allen Toussaint, Betty Wright, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Don Covay, and many more.” As music memoirs by non-musicians go, this is a proper page-turner.
