3.0 out of 5 stars
Smooth... too smooth?,
By djDust (California, currently in Taiwan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ain't Givin Up (Audio CD)
Been a fan of TW since You've Got the Power, early '80s, so I hate to give a mediocre review. If you like your reggae smooth, with polished harmony, you'll dig this CD... Title song is a boom tune, last cut is good, Washington and Saw add some vitality, but for me, this CD doesn't deliver roots reggae in the good ol' TW tradition. Tracks another viewer rated as favs, Paradise, Shine On Me, with their super-smooth "Boyz II Men" harmony, along with some other cuts that are borderline, to me come close to seriously tarnishing TW's legacy as a roots band. Which is too bad, because they're a world music treasure. Love you guys, but give us roots!
Listened to the samples of their recent Black Gold & Green cd and it sounds much better. If you're roots, go with that one ahead of this.

This CD is well worth the wait. It starts out great and gets better. The spirit, hope, harmony is refreshing. I heard TW play "Natural Mystic" last summer and will be seeing them my third time in one month. I also have Reggae Ambassadors which made me a fan five years ago. "Hold Tight" with Julian Lennon is good. I like "Get Over It, As One, Paradise and Shine On Me."
