Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning to Jamaica after an extended period in Canada, the remarkably versatile vocalist teamed up with legendary producer Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd for this seminal release. The album flawlessly blends deeply spiritual, conscious roots reggae anthems with smooth, soulful lovers rock sensibilities. Bolstered by classic, revitalized Studio One riddims, it remains a cornerstone of the late-70s Jamaican roots era.
