Purchase Roll It Gal CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Buju Banton Til Shiloh... CD (1995) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Roll It Gal album
 $10.45    
It was not pure ego that led Buju Banton to title his 1993 album VOICE OF JAMAICA; his unique voice is a gruff, melodic instrument, and his lyrics are precise. He built his career on controversial hits and slacker anthems, but has since helped spearhead a movement to swing reggae's pendulum away from sex and violence, back towards conscious lyrics and Rastafarian themes. On `TIL SHILOH, the voice of Jamaica has visibly evolved.
Still, don't let all this consciousness talk scare you; Buju's strength is his ability to create hooks that buoy the weight of his words. The choruses of singles like "Murderer," "I Wanna Be Loved" and "Champion" drill themselves into your head and nest there for days. 'TIL SHILOH is also one of the most experimental dancehall releases ever, utilizing an a capella intro, a track built out of African chanting and percussion ("'Til I'm Laid To Rest"), and a song featuring an acoustic guitar ("Untold Stories"). A duet with the late Garnett Silk ("Complaint") provides a nice respite from Banton's trademark growl. For the most part, Buju and executive producer Donovan Germain steer clear of pandering to cross-over audiences, choosing instead to rely on innovative rhythms and Banton's natural pop sensibilities to win over listeners.
While Buju may not yet be ready to inherit Silk's "Next Marley" tag, 'TIL SHILOH is without a doubt the most roots-oriented dancehall release of 1995. And if Banton continues to revitalize reggae's sound and vision, it will not seem strange to mention him one day with the same reverence reserved for Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Burning Spear.
1993's Voice of Jamaica was a stellar set, an aural collage of the island, with its swirl of diverse styles, sounds and themes.
Bringing dancehall ...
| | My Name Is Gyptian CD (2006)
Roll It Gal CD music
$10.49
Gyptian's heartbreaking single "Serious Times" became Jamaica's favorite song in 2005, no small feat considering its main competition was Damian "Junior Gong" Marley's massive hit "Welcome to Jamrock." A loose, earthy ballad with nyahbinghi drums and sufferer's lyrics, "Serious Times" is a 21st century, roots-minded classic that benefits from casual production, but the shoe-string budget that gave the song such a front porch vibe is also My Name Is Gyptian's big drawback. The power of Gyptian's delivery and his dedication to every tune deserves better surroundings, and one has to wonder why the powers that be put "What Are We Fighting For" and the redundant "Stop the Fussing and Fighting" right next to one another. Regardless of the pasted-together feel to the album, the singer carries many of the tunes on delivery alone, turning everyday lovers rock into beautiful, timeless seduction songs. The socially aware numbers give the album some substantial weight with the cautionary "School Girl" and the comforting "Ma Ma" carrying on the "Serious Times" tradition. While a better-built showcase could have ...

Hotshot reggaeton duo Wisan y Andel put together a sure-fire reggaeton winner with LOS VAQUEROS, a set that features contributions from heavyweights Don Omar, Tony Dize, Gadiel, and others, as well as starring spots from Wisan and Yandel. The lyrical flow of these rappers is matched only by the searing quality of the tracks they rap over, creating a synthesis that hearkens back to the fiery origins of ...
| | Big Youth Screaming Target CD (1973) Bonus Tracks
Roll It Gal album
$10.19
This reggae classic, long heralded as a cornerstone of the DJ genre, was remastered and reissued in 2006. Along with U-Roy, Big Youth was one of the most influential DJs on the Jamaican scene in the 1970s, helping to develop and popularize the tradition of singers "toasting" over records (a tradition that bears a direct lineage to dancehall and rap). Big Youth's 1973 debut SCREAMING TARGET has the passionate vocalist espousing conscious themes over smartly produced roots reggae rhythms in a way that sounds as fresh decades later as it did upon its original release. The reissue contains 14 bonus tracks and crisply remastered sound.
Big Youth's 1973 debut is one of the seminal albums of Jamaican DJ music. Building on the groundbreaking innovations of '60s toasters like U Roy, Big Youth changed the face of DJ-ing in the '70s with his relaxed, conversational style and the politically charged themes he premiered on SCREAMING TARGET. The shrieks that kick off the title track command the listener's attention immediately, and belie Big Youth's jazzy, laid-back toasting style. Based on K.C. White's "No No No," "Screaming Target" is a clarion call for Jamaica's youth to educate and better themselves, and typifies Big Youth's marriage of cool, mesmerizing performance with razor-sharp, socially conscious lyrics.
The rest of SCREAMING TARGET follows suit, with superb track selections and producer Gussie Clarke's well-articulated production. Big Youth's toasts ride the rhythms perfectly, and his lazy, half-slurred style radiates a cool, rolling vibe that is balanced by the precision of its ...

| | Buck-O-Nine Libido Vinyl LP (1999) Picture Disc
Roll It Gal music CDs
 $10.29
Right in step with their California ska-pop brothers Sugar Ray and Sublime comes San Diego's Buck-O-Nine. After more than five years of playing clubs, Buck-O-Nine attracted a loyal following with their raucous combination of ska, reggae and a touch of The Clash. While others in their genre, such as the aforementioned California bands, as well as Boston's Mighty Mighty Bosstones, have gone on to major success, Buck-O-Nine remains something of an insider phenomenon with a strong, cult following.
However, LIBIDO, packed with crunching, over-driven guitars and stabbing horn lines, makes a strong case for Buck-O-Nine deserving a little more attention. From the energetic, radio-ready opening track, ...

Roll It Gal album
$22.79
The restless and endlessly inventive brother/sister outfit the Fiery Furnaces proved astoundingly prolific (two EPs and three full-length releases) in their first three years, and along the way received both critical accolades (for 2004's BLUEBERRY BOAT, in particular) and critical drubbings (for the 2005 extended family affair REHEARSING MY CHOIR, in particular). The band's fourth full-length, 2006's BITTER TEA, might be the album to unite the warring factions, however, as it's arguably the most focused and fruitful realization of the Fiery Furnaces' unique aesthetic.
Combining the left-field, visionary shape-shifting of BLUEBERRY BOAT with the pop smarts of '05's THE FIERY FURNACES EP, BITTER TEA is a colorful, careening sonic journey that fascinates and unsettles. The music touches on back-to-childhood ...
