Lucky comes on strong with "The Way It Is"
South Africa's "King of Reggae", Lucky Dube, comes on strong with 1999's award winning release "The Way It Is" As always, Dube showcases his diverse style mixing his African roots with today's popular sound. This release is a textured mixture of South African rhythms, Spanish guitars, and a bit of a rock n roll flavored guitar work reminicent of Pink Floyd on the track "Man in The City". Dube makes the most of his incredible vocal range as never before on many of the cd's tracks, most notably on "The Show Goes On" and "Man in The Mirror". This cd is a "must have" for Reggae and World Music lovers as it's diversity crosses over into the realm of popular music, that can be enjoyed by everyone today.

Incredible vocals
I first heard Lucky Dube's music while visiting the Caribbean. The sound so captured my attention that I just had to order this CD upon returning to the States.

Dube's incredible vocal range alone is well worth a listen, but combine that with South African instrumentation and a Reggae style reminicent of Marley / Tosh...you just can't go wrong with this one.

Best Reggae Music
Anyone who follow Lucky Dube's Music won't regret adding this music CD to their collection.
