Black Uhuru "The Best of" Album Review

Outstanding, beginning to end
I picked up this album after buying the Millennium Collection albums for Steel Pulse and Third World. Both were outstanding, so I ordered Black Uhuru. It has quickly become my favorite of the three, although they are all outstanding. The production quality is great and there isn't a single song that I dislike. My favorites are "Sponji Reggae" and "Darkness" but I really dig every single track. When I put this CD on, at home, at work, or driving, I uncontrollably move my body and bob my head to the beat. Although some of the lyrical content is dark, describing the struggle against and under the oppression of Babylon, the music nevertheless fills me with joy.

Video MICHAEL ROSE (BLACK UHURU) 'WARRIOR' ALBUM SAMPLER

From his early solo work for Niney the Observer in the 1970s through a trailblazing stint as lead singer of Black Uhuru - netting reggae music its first Grammy - to his magnificent later solo work, Michael Rose has consistently remained at the helm of one of reggae's most far - reaching sounds. He can always be counted on to be challenging, topical, musically expansive and lyrically visionary - no small feat in a genre that sets aside old styles like ska, rock steady, roots and dub for the rest of the world to mine as it drives relentlessly forward. Michael Rose is one of the defining voices in roots reggae music. (Chuck Foster - 'Reggae Central' KPFK 90.7 FM Los Angeles) Michael Rose - 'Warrior' Musicians: Sly Dunbar, Chinna Smith, Dean Fraser, Skully, Wally Badarou, Daryl Thompson, Ryan Moore If you love the classic sounds of Black Uhuru on albums like 'Red', 'Sensimilla', 'Anthem', 'Chill Out' - you'll love this album! This music is available digitally from Itunes, Emusic, Napster, Amazon, Bleep, Starbucks, Rhapsody, MediaNet, Juno and many more Discs from ebreggae.com and other retailers.

Phyllis Dillon "Love is All I Had" Album Review

Jamaican Semi-Soul Jams
This is a compilation of Phyllis Dillon's recordings - not a "tribute" in the sense of people recording covers of her recordings.

Sure, there are 29 songs - almost 80 minutes of music - but the sound quality is poor. It is not the worst I've ever heard, it is not like an old Ma Rainey or scratchy Billie Holiday recording, but there is not credit given for remastering, and I think it is safe to assume that these recordings, from 1966-1971, were NOT digitally remastered.

The music is OK, Dillon is not particularly Soulful or vocally dynamic, but it is some pleasant Reggae/Jamaican-style music. The booklet includes an essay by Mike Atherton and a few photos.
