Three in One is my second Morgan Heritage CD. I was immediately converted the first time I listened to More Teachings-don't ask where I had been all that while! Anyway, I was instantly converted, and purchased it. I wasn't going to miss any new
release thereafter.

In this Album, the group has again exhibited versitility by "experimenting" with other styles within the genre and even farther. My favorite song? Love 'em all!.. jump around, (the in-your-face, blatantly honest) Ah Who Dem, Man is still is a Man, (the sweet) She's Still Loving Me... love 'em all! Takes you through all the moods: playful, reflective, nostalgic melancholy. Did I hear Stevie Wonder, Jimmy Cliff, Bob Marley? Did I hear Luciano, Freddie Mcgregor? I thought I could could hear tantalizing hints of all above and yet the album was
still original in a way that only Morgan heritage can do, and just great. And that bit with the infusion of ragga was refreshing as well.

If you have listened to the Morgan heritage before, then you don't need any further convincing to add this to your collection. For the uninitiated this would certainly make you go looking for more of their works.

Keep blessing the children with your talents, Morgan Heritage!!

This is the the most recent of the Heritage collection. Not bad, this cd has a mixture of different tunes. My favorite is "A man in love" which showcase peter's voice very nicely. Other songs that get a thumbs up are "works to do" and "Falling race". This cd will grow on you!

This is by far one of the best albums in all genres of music I have heard in the last couple of years. This album has amazing songwritting. I've never heard a final product with so much soul, love, and belief in it. Peter and Roy Morgan absolutly sore through this album. One would have to be a fool to not fall in love with "The Truth" on the first listen. Going a bit down the list to "A Man Is Still A Man" great, great song with beautiful harmonies. "A Man In Love" is a very true song. I've played in a few bands in my 20 years on this Earth and the whole idea of women believing their men in bands are being unfaithful is very true. The song is just brought together so wisly and the lyrics make so much sense. Other great tracks include "She's Still Loving Me" "Judge Not" "Works To Do" "Nice Up U Medi" "Anti-War Song" (beautiful beautiful, guitar part almost reminds me of Filter haha) oh man oh man! "In The Ghetto" is truly a great song. Even though the song isn't really about it the melody line and everything of the song paints an image in my head of living on the islands of maybe Hawaii or maybe in the Carribian somewheres. Lastly "Falling Race" is a very catchy song like most of the album, it's pretty self explanatory but has some great singing. Bottom line is if you like the Raggae stylings of Buring Spear, Marley, Tosh, or if your more into the dub type Sublime, Pepper, LBDAS, Slightly Stoopid, you know you know stuff in that neighborhood. This album is bound to captivate you. Also I saw these guys live a while back and if you are a fan of them already and are interested in seeing me live but aren't sure if it's worth the trip...well you already know what I'm going to say. They actually sound better live in person than on the album. So really I can't say enough good things about this album. Gramps you have an amazing vouice, perfect range and lots of soul, Peter you have an amazing vouice as well. The band rocks everything rocks. Maybe we could have a few more guitar solos but heck it's no big deal. Wow get this album!!!

Now don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Morgan Heritage and I think they're are at the forefront of the Jamaican scene in terms of roots reggae. But to put things simply, this album is crap.
I heard a couple of tracks that sounded promising, but these turned out to be about the only good songs on the album. "The Truth" and "Rebel" are great tracks in their own right, "She's Still Loving Me" is fun soul-styled stuff, but these tracks can't save us from the rest. The opener is just a shocker, and why they needed an even worse remix of it I don't know.
Now I'm all for experimentation, when it works! Here it just sounds like they're trying to do one of every style, and not doing anything very well. Morgan Heritage need to stick to what they know, which is roots, there are just too many poor attempts at crossover appeal here.
If you want to hear Morgan Heritage, pick up "Don't Haffi Dread" and realise that they can do a lot better than a few good tracks on one album.
