5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential Reggae,
By Jingleballs (Baltimore, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Red (Audio CD)
Several years ago Rolling Stone magazine ranked this album better than any of Bob Marley's in a list of the 100 best albums of all time. That is debatable. But this CD rightly deserves the credit it's due, and shouldn't be overlooked. The themes deal with everyday life in Jamaica. Sly and Robbie are at their best laying down tight rthyms. Sensimilla is along the same lines as this. Both are crucial reggae CDs.

"What a Joy to Hear the Utterance of a Rasta . . .",
By Rich Latta (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Red (Audio CD)
Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in - this is one of my favorite reggae bands and RED is one of their best. What puts this reggae above many others is the masterful pop craftsmanship and the first-rate melodies. If you're looking for some raw roots reggae, you might want to look elsewhere. Not only is RED great reggae, it's expertly produced pop music. The standout tracks are clearly "Sponji Reggae" and "Utterance," but the whole record is most worthy.
An interesting side note: "uhuru" is Swahili for "freedom," so the band's name means "black freedom."

LISTEN UP!,
By The masked reviewer "rasmark1" (Teaneck, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Red (Audio CD)
FOCUS! This album is the Revolver of Reggae. Do not even think twice. If you buy 10 reggae albums in your life this must be one. Utterance I feel is one of the top 5 best reggae songs ever recorded. The album is superb. The next Uhuru album you would buy would be Sinsimilla. And, then you move on to other bands as they were not able to maintain the sincerity of the sound much beyond Red.
