Free Music Review: Still rockin after all these years
Hit: 5 Stars

As a fan of the Jamaican forms of music for most of my life, I can assure you that in very few, if any, places, will one find a better cross-section of rocksteady, vocal trio, rude boy, and reggae music than on this classic film soundtrack.

The music of the legends- Desmond Dekker, the king of rocksteady; Toots and the Maytals, masters of Ska, rocksteady and reggae; the Melodians, one of the premier rocksteady vocal trios of all time; and Jimmy Cliff, the master himself- spearheaded the film, and the careers of the players on this disc.

Bob Marley fans will argue that Marley is the most influential reggae master of all time. This may very well be true, but this soundtrack is the master of all reggae cds. The blend of styles perfect, the muisc tight and groovy, the vocals exquisite- Jamaican music from this period at its best.

If you own one representative of Jamaican music, this would have to be it, but hopefully this soundtrack will lead you down the paths of mssrs. Dekker, Toots, the Melodians, and Cliff..and allow you the opportunity to explore and fall in love with, all that Jamaican music has to offer.

So stop reading this and get this soundtrack and buckle yourself in, because once the journey starts, you won't want to stop.
