I AM currently listening toTHE WIRE…AND ALL THE PIECES THAT MATTER, a soundtrack based on the HBO original series on the sociological underpinnings of urban blight. The soundtrack, just as you would expect, is authentic to Baltimore and the sounds of the series. Featuring local rappers and an appearance by Masta Ace, interspersed with tracks from Tom Waits and The Neville Brothers along with snippets of memorable dialogue and scores made specifically for the show, it is worth a listen, you will without a doubt feel the grit and get a taste of the city.
