In this weekly Muss Buss Caan Buss song review feature, three musical minds will analyse each song and grade it on vocal ability, lyrics, musical arrangement and appeal. Songs that make the grade will be dubbed 'Mus Buss', while songs that flop will be dumped in the 'Caan Buss' bin.
The three reviewers welcome feedback from the artistes and the public. Send your comments to bussdem@hotmail.com or mail your songs to 'Muss Buss' at the Gleaner Company, 7 North Street, Kingston. This week the muss buss/caan buss team will be review Bramma's Guided By The Master.
