You ready for the son of reggae live?

Advantages: THIS IS A LIVE ALBUM
Disadvantages: Bob Marley isn't alive to sign it himself!

This is a truly great album, its as close as you can get to the real thing with a full 1 hour and 13 minutes of live Bob Marley and the Wailers. Listening to the album is an experience. This live version is extreamly good quality from the sound recording and the band also the fact its been remasterd makes it alot more crisp.. Many of Marleys live recordings have had poor sound quality and normaly wouldn't be able to be played as background music ...
...version is very clear. I realy love the songs they play, its one of the best set lists that could of been choosen. Most the songs are extended and have good never heard before endings. . Featuring the classics: 1. POSITIVE VIBRATION 2. PUNKY REGGAE PARTY 3. EXODUS 4. STIR IT UP 5. RAT RACE 6. CONCRETE JUNGLE 7. KINKY REGGAE 8. LIVELY UP YOURSELF 9. REBEL MUSIC 10. WAR/NO MORE TROUBLE 11. IS THIS LOVE? 12. HEATHEN 13. JAMMING This is one of ...

Advantages: sounds amazing as it's a live album
Disadvantages: not many

Jewish Reggae.. Matisyahu - Live at Stubb's

Advantages: Good music, reggae brought back to a roots sound
Disadvantages: None

Live at Stubb's is Matisyahu's 2nd album and his 1st live album recorded at Stubbs in Austin, Texas. It was released in February, 2005 by JDubRecords. If you are not familiar with Matisyahu, he's an intriguing chap, a New York Jew (Matisyahu is the Yiddish pronunciation of Matthew), who dresses in the traditional clothing of a Hasidic Jew and doesn't perform on the sabbath. He spent several years taking hallucinogens and touring with the rock band ...
...Matisyahu Miller - Vocals Roots Tonic: Aaron Dugan - Guitar Josh Werner - Bass Guitar Johan David - Drums Yoni - MC (on Beat Box) Beat Box is a particularly good song but I liked them all and it works well as it's a live concert. ...

Him Name Buju Banton... Nahh Mr. Mention

Advantages: Lots of bangers
Disadvantages: Ends on a track that's weaker than the rest

“Mr. Mention” was released in 1992 as the second album from the Jamaican Dancehall musician Buju Banton. It dropped soon after his debut (within a year) and so had him showing just how productive he could be at the time as he brought lots of his Dancehall material (that became much more Reggae-styled as his career developed and he embraced Rastafarians ways. 1. “Batty Rider” The album opens up with one of the biggest singles that he had released ...
...that here you get him blasting through a fly tune that has him bringing through the sort of controversial lyrics that gave him notoriety when he broke into the game at the age of 15 with “Boom Bye Bye”. It is a hardcore tune, but one that I can’t say is really for all due to the themes. **Five Stars** 2. “Love How The Gal-Dem Flex” This is a big tune on the release and one that is seen to build upon the sorts of things that were heard on the first ...

Dawning of a New Era: AMAZING!

Advantages: Perfect in every way! So many tracks!
Disadvantages: Nothing

...one of them! Dawning of a New Era gathers together tracks from the classic era of reggae, 1968 & '69, and like the equally-essential "Dancehall '69", was compiled by Michael De Koningh, which means you get an impeccable selection of prime reggae, beginning with the massive tune "John Jones" from Rudy Mills. From there highlights include the so-terrible-it's-brilliant "Rescue Me" by The Reggae Girls, the even better "Su Su Su" by The Pioneers, a perfect ...
...Flint", and "Reggae Hit the Town" - the absolute classic tune from The Ethiopians, plus my personal favourite - "Splash Down" by The Crystalites, a driving instrumental which could be used as the musical dictionary term for "skinhead reggae instrumental" (if there was such a thing), it's so good. With a great mix of skin organ instrumentals and vocal anthems, and with two CDs there are so many classics pakced on here that you'll have a fantastic ...
