 (2 Customer Reviews)
Roots reggae is an international phenomenon, one that's played on every continent, with greater or lesser degrees of success. New York-based John Brown's Body have been doing it well for many years now, with great harmonies and strong melodies, as on "Follow Into Shadow." Singer Elliot Martin is a strong vocalist who brings a huge presence to the disc, most evident on a track like "Resonate." But he's far from being the only focal point -- guitarist Kevin Kinsella is excellent throughout. While the band are very convincing in their roots, they haven't completely ignored the last two decades of Jamaican music, as "Blazing Love" shows, tipping more than its hat to raga, and they're also comfortable dipping into R&B for "Not Enough." This is a band that's paid its dues, but also know what it can do, and does it very well indeed. Yet there's more than professionalism at work here; there's passion behind it all, and that's the most important factor. ~ Chris Nickson

Listening to this disc is a vaguely disturbing experience, because this American reggae group has captured so uncannily the sound of early dancehall reggae, the kind that came out of small Jamaican recording studios in the late '70s and early '80s. Only the digitally clean production quality betrays this as a product of its decade. And hey, that's a compliment. The elastic rocksteady groove and sweet horn lines (though not the violin obbligato) of "Love Is a Fire" could have come out of Coxsone Dodd's ...

It's not entirely accurate to call John Brown's Body an anachronism, but it' s not entirely inaccurate either. This brand of reggae hasn't been played by any other band in almost 20 years; it's the style usually referred to as "roots" reggae, to differentiate it from the earthier and more percussive dancehall and reggae styles that developed during the 1980s and 1990s. "Satisfaction Feeling," with its slow-skanking rock-steady rhythm, ...
