His little woman done ran away.

Perhaps she just fell through a crack in the floorboards? hmm

His sc*tty vocal flourishes are almost like a form of Tourettes.

It is over.

It was pleasant but insubstantial and the songs failed to develop after their first few bars.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of them. Excited

I shall give it 3 stars.

I enjoyed that a gr8 deal - much more than I expected in fact.

I've always loved the title track, but much of the rest of the album was confoundingly original and unexpected.

Also, his very soulful voice really shone through and helped to carry some of the more orthodox reggae numbers.

It's mini-masterpiece of it's oeuvre.

With the possible exception of the The Harder They Come OST, deffo the best reggae album we've done.
