This is a great Yellowman CD. It's one of his early works and definitely one of his best. This is a must for all reggae fans. From the catchy Mr. Chin, to the non-stop style of Natty Sat Up On The Rock, to the deep bass sound of Duppy or Gunman. This entire CD is fantastic!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yellowman's strongest album, April 13, 2007

Yellowman has recorded many albums of the past 30 or so years, but "Mister Yellowman" stands out among all the rest as his strongest recording of his career. This album showcases every side of Yellowman's personality: we see his humor in songs like "Cocky Did A Hurt Me", his social/political side in "Duppy of Gunman", his sexual side in "Morning Ride", and his romantic side in "Yellowman Getting Married". All the songs on the album are great, especially my personal favorite, "Jamaica A Little Miami". Roots Reggae fans may find it hard to really get into this album, but if you love Reggae music, Dancehall Reggae, and King Yellowman, then you will love this classic CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Truly A Reggae Legend, January 16, 2004

This review is from: Mister Yellowman (Audio CD)

Believe it or not, I knew who Yellowman was before I knew who Bob Marley was. Having never really listened to reggae before, it was somewhere in the middle of the first Yellowman song I heard that I realized I had a new love in my life. King Yellow's infectious rhythms and intelligent (and often very funny) lyrics had me hooked from the start. This is a great CD to introduce anybody to this great artist, including hit songs such as Mr. Chin, Two To Six Supermix, and Natty Sat Upon A Rock, which often find their way into his live repertoire. All fans of reggae or people that like upbeat and groovy tunes need to check this one out!
