5.0 out of 5 stars IT IS A MASTERPIECE!
This is the first time I have purchased a Freddie McGregor CD, and it won't be the last. Great lyrics and music.

1.0 out of 5 stars Overproduced & Uninspired
Over-produced and uninspired, this album provides a perfect example of how bad rocksteady reggae has become. Gone are the brown-sugar bass lines and tickling rhythm guitar licks. They are replaced by tinny drum machines, annoying synthesizers (whatever happened to the Hammond, a piano or the 'real' horn section)and poorly executed dub-stylings.
Credit will always...

Credit will always be due Mr. McGregor when it come to his powerful vocal abilities, but the foundation of 'Masterpiece' is cracked and crumbling. The album 'Big Ship' still remains his best and one of the best roots albums ever cut.

5.0 out of 5 stars His best CD in years., April 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Masterpiece (Audio CD)
This is a perfect warm summer evening CD. All of the tracks flow together very well & there are very few "filler" songs on this CD. I would highly suggest this work to anyone who is a fan of the very busy Freddie McGregor. Very easy to listen to and quite consistent throughout. After Bobby Babylon, this is my favorite McGregor CD.
