Editorial Reviews

Unlikely as it may seem, artists such as Jim Reeves, Hank Williams and Marty Robbins frequently topped the Jamaican music charts in the sixties and seventies, rivaling top R&B and Reggae acts in terms of there popularity. As a result, the style influenced countless Jamaican acts, thereby exerting profound influence upon the development of Reggae.

collections like this must be respected, the trojan sets i believe are overlooked because there is so much good material on them, sets like this, with the different styles, artist, and yeaers, have something for everyone, there are many dif types of reggea, and sets like these allow new listeners to hear the the evolution of the reggea sound, if all you know is marley or dub, these are wonderful sets with greats such as keith hudson, augustus pablo, lee perry, dozens of artist just as heavy as black ark, or tuff gong. lots of history here, and at reasonable prices(used on amazon)

There aren't a ton of well known country hits on this cd, some even that fit more into the oldies category, BUT I enjoyed it none the less. I listen to it frequently and enjoy the Jamaican twist on these songs. If you like reggae you'll enjoy this cd.
