Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring production assistance from The Rolling Stones' internal network, the former Wailer's fifth solo album integrates slightly more accessible arrangements without diluting his militant lyrical stance. It features potent, horn-driven tracks that emphasize Pan-African unity and steadfast Rastafari devotion[cite: 1].
