Album · Reggae · 2017
Put this on and see the reverential tears form in the eyes of even the most hardcore reggae fan. You’ll hear the influence of American soul music during a crucial period when bouncy ska was transforming into reggae. Alton Ellis' pleading “I'm Still in Love With You”, The Heptones' harmonious take on “I Shall Be Released”, the trademark Studio One rocksteady groove of “Trying Times”—each song on here is a true classic.
