:.: Notes And Comments About The Release :.:
';: ........................................... :;`
' `
Dr. Dread, owner of RAS Records, first heard this album when
it was released on an obscure Jamaican label in 1979; his
subsequent meeting with Broggs in Kingston led to the
establishment of the RAS label and its first release, which
was Broggs' second album (Rastafari Liveth). American reggae
fans are very much the richer for that development, since
RAS has gone on to become one of the two most important
American reggae labels. Broggs' debut, now available on CD
for the first time, is distinguished by the watertight
playing of Roots Radics, led by the mighty team of bassist
Flabba Holt and drummer Style Scott. Guitarist Eric Lamont
produced the album at Channel One and mixed it at King
Tubby's, so the vibe is just spectacular. Unfortunately, it
has to be said that Broggs himself is a terrible singer. His
delivery, while sincere, is generally pretty low energy, and
his pitch is always almost completely off. So while there's
no denying the power of the music on tracks like "I Don't
Know" and "Forward Natty," you'll find yourself wishing
Broggs would quit singing so you could hear it better. ù
