Today,
THE STAR continues the Mus Buss column. In this weekly song review feature, three musical minds with different tastes will analyse each song and will grade it on vocal ability, lyrics, musical arrangement and appeal. Songs that make the grade will be dubbed 'Mus Buss', while songs that flop they will be dumped in the 'Caan Buss' bin.
The three reviewers welcome feedback from the artistes and the public about the column. Send your comments to bussdem@hotmail.com or mail in your songs to 'Mus Buss' at the Gleaner Company, 7 North Street, Kingston. This week the mus' buss/caan buss team will be reviewing Macka Diamond's Best Dressed.
