Everything I Own - Ken Boothe

Advantages: A Great album for the collection
Disadvantages: It would mean more to me, personally, if it was on vinyl

...Although only now, being 17 years of age, this album is sure to be the album of my life. Mr. Rocksteady is the epitome of a mood setter for a night out, and without a doubt this man has got soul. This album is compiled of hit after hit of rocksteady renditions of songs such as "Puppet on a String" and "I dont want to see you cry". Such sing a long tunes make you want to put this album on repeat from morning until night, and until someone else puts as much into an album as Ken Boothe has with Mr. Rocksteady, then this will continue to play from my stereo. If soul and movement and rocking steady is what you're looking for, then this is sure to be a great album to your collection.... Read review

Hot Rod All Stars: Virgin Soldiers Instrumental with a flute solo! Bizarre. 5. Joe White: I'm Gonna Get There Great lovers rock moment from a sweet soul voice. Enchanting. 6. Rupie Edwards All Stars: Kinky Funky Reggae King of pop-dub, provides a Marley Cover. Patchy. 7. Joe White: So Much Love Beautifully executed, soulful track that will leave... Read review

Disadvantages: None

...PRELIMINARY INTRODUCTION Background Well where do I start? I’m a fan of pretty much any kind of music which appeals to me. I like everything from RnB to garage, dance, rock/indy and many more. I would like to consider my opinion of music my own and don’t just listen to it because it’s the latest trend or anything like that. So to start the review I thought I’d do a bit of research into the music genre which is RnB. I’ve never really thought about researching into a specific music genre before but thought it’d be a perfect opportunity to educate those who don’t know much about it. Therefore I’ve taken it upon myself to compose a short list of interesting facts about the genre before actually detailing the subject matter, it may take quite a while but I’d appreciate anyone who reads the whole thing. So here goes; - Well... Read review
