2004 | Label: ROIR / Virtual

Solid Roots Reggae

I enjoyed this album, it is fairly distinctive, beginning with a long nyabinghi chant and continuing with some solid roots reggae songs. His voice is rich and pleasant and I liked the women back-up vocalists. It stands up well to repeated listening.
