5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Representation of a Brilliant Artiste's Work, September 30, 2005

This is a great album. The 2-disc set gives a whopping 36 (22+14) of the late Garnett Silk's hits. All the songs are really big hits. Garnett was one of the most talented entertainers Jamaica has ever produced. His songs are both enlightning and inspiring. The tracks are also very well written, well produced, and, while being mainly conscious songs, the set gives the listener the vibe to rock while meditating on the remarkable, well put togehter lyrics.

As far as favorites go, I must say that the whole album is enjoyable. My favorites include, Splashing Dashing, Lord Watch Over our Shoulders, Mama, Kingly Character, Hello Mama Africa, Nothing Can Devide Us, Oh Me Oh My, It's Growing, Commitment, Love is the Answer, See Bimbo Ya, Everything I've Got (personal favorite), Place in Your Heart, Disadvantaged, Fight Back, Complain, Fill Us Up With Your Mercy, Man Is Just A Man, Zion in a Vision, Spread The Love, and Singing for the People.

There is also an interview at the end of disc 2 which allows the lister to learn about the singer from the singer himself.

This is a great buy for any music lover. All fans of the late artiste will also love this album. I highly recommend it!!

This is a wonderful album that is very much enjoyed by my family and I. You dont have to be Jamacian or Rasta to enjoy this album or his message. If you love a positive message, God, and great beats, then this album is with out a doubt for you ! Garnet Silk is surely missed and in my opinion one of the greatest artists and his gifts to music are unforgetable. This album includes ALL his hits (only 1 or 2 are missing), and this is a MUST HAVE for any reggae fan. I would buy this album twice, I highly recommend it.

This album is great. Some of it overlaps the 'Definitive Garnet Silk' double disc set, but this album has most of Garnet's best and latest songs. The album includes alot of info on Garnet and his family in the liner notes.
