        ████    reggae delight from start to finishùreal value     ████
        ████    for money. The first CD is a new compilation       ████
        ████    titled "Prepare Ye The Way," while the second      ████
        ████    is a live album recorded at the Renegade           ████
        ████    Festival, Mt. Shasta, California. If youÆre        ████
        ████    already a fan, you may be concerned that almost    ████
        ████    everything on the live album duplicates a          ████
        ████    studio track from an earlier ôshowcase.ö If so,    ████
        ████    be assured that a) these dynamic                   ████
        ████    reinterpretations are thoroughly enjoyable as      ████
        ████    separate entities, and b) the strength of the      ████
        ████    song writing on CD 1 will keep you distracted      ████
        ████    anyway.                                            ████
        ████                                                       ████
        ████    LetÆs consider that first CD. With a quick         ████
        ████    start and urgent vocal, ôHead of the Streamö       ████
        ████    proceeds rapidly to a dire admonition about the    ████
        ████    environment that goes well beyond the usual        ████
        ████    fretting, with its suggestion that individuals     ████
        ████    will be held accountable: ôWoe be unto the ones    ████
        ████    responsible/for feeding garbage to the people.ö    ████
        ████    Over a bubbling bass line, the next track,         ████
        ████    ôRide the Tideö describes raging storms and        ████
        ████    rough seas in Babylon. The synthesizer riff of     ████
        ████    ôGive It to Themö is perfectly at home with the    ████
        ████    vocals, which here and throughout are so           ████
        ████    grounded, so urgent that the overall sound         ████
        ████    never comes across as anything but natural.        ████
        ████    That genuineness is probably also the reason       ████
        ████    why on ôSmile,ö the Prezident almost convinces     ████
        ████    us that a ôreal smileà will save you from          ████
        ████    cardiac arrest.ö                                   ████
        ████                                                       ████
        ████    ôReal Thing,ö another plea for integrity, uses     ████
        ████    unusual but perfect metaphors. The title track,    ████
        ████    ôPrepare Ye the Wayö, is perhaps the highlight     ████
        ████    (itÆs hard to pick just one) with its engaging     ████
        ████    melody and pointed lyrics. Although somewhat       ████
        ████    lightweight in comparison, ôAutomobileö may be     ████
        ████    the first song to slip into gear for youùitÆs      ████
        ████    shiny and sleek, with horsepower enough to         ████
        ████    carry us very smoothly to unexpected places.       ████
        ████    The eleventh track, ôProtect I Oh Jah,ö is a       ████
        ████    very personal prayer for inner strength, and is    ████
        ████    followed by its dub as the CDÆs final offering.    ████
        ████                                                       ████
        ████    The 16-track companion concert set is over an      ████
        ████    hourÆs worth of similarly catchy, powerful and     ████
        ████    often beautiful songs, and the enthusiastic        ████
