┤;: ........................................... :;`
┤ `
African-American R&B has affected different reggae artists
in different ways. While Toots and the Maytals' gritty ska/reggae
is comparable to the raw, tough southern soul that Wilson Picket,
Sam & Dave and Otis Redding were known for, Culture's sweet,
mellifluous style of reggae is closer to the northern soul and
sweet soul that came out of Chicago, Philadelphia and Detroit in
the '60s and '70s.
On International Herb, ones hears a lot of northern soul
influence, as well as Afro-Caribbean and African pop influences.
Although not in a class with Two Sevens Clash or Baldhead Bridge,
International Herb is a respectable, gleasing effort that Culture
fans were glad to acquire. Virgin's original LP version of
International Herb generated some controversy thanks to its front
cover, which showed Culture's members smoking large spliffs while
standing in front of a tall, bushy marijuana plant. Marijuana
advocates loved the cover, marijuana opponents hated it and
Libertarians defended Culture's right to free speech -- even if
they were Libertarian teetotalers who wouldn't dream of touching
a spliff themselves. The title song is unapologetically
pro-marijuana, while other noteworthy tracks (including "Ethiopians
Waan Guh Home," "Rally Around Jahovah's Throne" and "Jah
Rastafari") put forth a very Rastafarian message. International
Herb falls short of essential, but it's an enjoyable illustration
of the group's talents.
