Album Notes & Community Reviews

Moving to Heartbeat Records, the legendary Winston Rodney delivered a deeply hypnotic, culturally uncompromising album backed by members of the Wailers' rhythm section. The recording emphasizes dense, rolling basslines and triumphant brass charts behind his uniquely chanting, hypnotic vocal delivery. 'Farover' stands as a powerful testament to traditional roots reggae during the genre's pivot toward digital dancehall.
