LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
he music business has always tried to duck the "business"
half of its existence in favor of the more noble "in this
for the art" philosophy. Nashville Scene offers us
a look at what happens when the bean counters come home to roost.
Beverly Keel opens things up with her look at label closings and
mergers in "Broken Records." Michael McCall offers some insight on what belt tightening in the industry will mean to the
market in "Fit and Working Again." Keel talks with artists about where their fortunes lie now, and explores a few key execs
who may be on the move in "Where To?" McCall fleshes out the silver lining in the slimming of the biz in "Survival Tactics" and Bill Friskics-Warren adds his two cents worth in "Art for Sale."
Also in this week's issue: Porn rock, Roy Hargrove, Richard Thompson, Sam Prekop, and more in Mini-Reviews.
