Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the monumental success of the 'Marcus Garvey' LP, the quintessential roots reggae outfit returned with a distinctly more pastoral and mellow offering. The lyrical focus shifts slightly from fierce political denunciation toward deep spiritual consciousness and an idyllic reverence for rural Jamaican life. Supported by the impeccable rhythms of The Black Disciples, the record radiates a warm, hypnotic tranquility.
