Reviews
"A time capsule and family reunion all in one. Partridge had unprecedented access to some of the time period's heavy hitters, so the narrative he weaves is authentic and insightful. . . . An easily digestible piece of music history that anyone who cares about understanding American music should read." --Dane Jackson, Bearded Gentlemen Music, "Partridge did a fantastic job writing this book, as it is well-researched and thorough while still accessible to a wide range of readers. I highly recommend this book for any music collection, academic or public." --Gaylyn Foxworthy Music Reference Services Quarterly, "If you want to be an expert on ska, here's a must-read. Partridge draws on interviews from some key figures, including the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Sublime, and Less Than Jake, to tell the story of a genre that found huge success at a time when its upbeat, lighthearted nature seemed to reflect the optimism of its environment." --Molly Tie, Punktuation Magazine, " Hell of a Hat is the long-overdue chronicle of how the ska and swing movements of the late twentieth century were more than mere fads. In his frantic and fascinating book, Partridge authoritatively defends the love that an entire generation had for these two cultural revivals, which flew against the angst-ridden stereotype of the '90s. This book positively dances." --Jason Heller,author of Strange Stars: David Bowie, Pop Music, and the Decade Sci-Fi Exploded, "A time capsule and family reunion all in one. Partridge had unprecedented access to some of the time period's heavy hitters, so the narrative he weaves is authentic and insightful. . . . An easily digestible piece of music history that anyone who cares about understanding American music should read." --Dane Jackson Bearded Gentlemen Music, "Partridge's gritty yet affectionate take on ska and swing brings the bands, their music, and their lasting cultural influence to vivid life." -- Library Journal, "Now it can be told: the ska and swing music of the glorious post-Nirvana '90s deserves your love and respect. Kenneth Partridge takes you back to the songs that will have your Vans tapping, with stories that will make your pompadour stand on end. Mr. Partridge, skanks for the memories." --Dave Holmes,editor-at-large of Esquire and former MTV VJ, "If you want to be an expert on ska, here's a must-read. Partridge draws on interviews from some key figures, including the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Sublime, and Less Than Jake, to tell the story of a genre that found huge success at a time when its upbeat, lighthearted nature seemed to reflect the optimism of its environment." --Molly Tie Punktuation Magazine, "American ska hasn't received its proper due nor garnered the kind of respect that it deserves. Hell of a Hat goes a long way toward remedying that oversight." --June Skinner Sawyers, author of Bob Dylan: New York, " Hell of a Hat is the long-overdue chronicle of how the ska and swing movements of the late twentieth century were more than mere fads.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
