| | Best Of Reggae Sunsplash CD
Recorded live at Reggae Sunsplash, Montego Bay, Jamaica on August 4th, 1982. Includes liner notes by Les Souci.
Held annually in Montego Bay, Jamaica, Reggae Sunsplash is the world's largest reggae festival. This excellent CD offers a sampling of some of the 1982 Sunsplash's highlights and contains performances by big names like Toots & the Maytals, Mutabaruka, Yellowman, the Gladiators, the Mighty Diamonds and the Twinkle Brothers, all of whom are in good or excellent form. One thing The Best of Reggae Sunsplash shows is reggae's diversity -- Toots' exuberance ("Never Get Weary," "Beautiful Woman") is a long way from Mutabaruka's angry dub poetry ("Hard Times Love," "Drug Kulcha") and the dubwise of Yellowman ("Church in Session"), Brigadier Jerry ("Pain") and the quirky Eek-A-Mouse ("Neutron Bomb"/"Assassinator"). And on the Mighty Diamonds' "Right Time," one can hear why some admirers of classic African-American soul music also hold classic reggae in such high regard. This disc, released by a small and obscure label based in Silver Spring, MD, may be hard to find but would be well worth the search. ~ Alex Henderson

| | Keb' Mo' Slow Down CD (1998) Enhanced CD
Best Of Reggae Sunsplash album
$7.59 SLOW DOWN is a Enhanced CD containing both a full audio program as well as multimedia computer files.
All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.
SLOW DOWN won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.
Let's dispel a common misconception right off the bat; Keb Mo is not a blues singer. To call him one would be as limiting as calling Lyle Lovett a country singer. He's got his finger in too many musical pies to be tied down to one tradition. As SLOW DOWN makes plain, his songs are certainly bluesy, but like Taj Mahal, he takes the style an mingles it with so many others that a new paradigm is created.
Keb Mo's snappy, soulful acoustic guitar is the central element of most of the tunes here, but there's everything from funk to R&B to '70s-sounding rock-pop at work in these songs. As a composer, Keb Mo knows how to get down to the basics of human emotions and trials without lapsing into cliche, and ...
