A must have
If you're a Big Mountain fan or casual reggae listener, this is a must have.
Baby, I Love This Album
First of all, I need to say that I've never been a big fan of reggae music -- it just doesn't jive with my scandinavian genetics. I bought this album for the infectiously catchy remake of "Baby, I Love Your Way" and for a couple of years, that was the only track that received any attention in my CD player. Eventually I begrudgingly decided to give a couple of other cuts a chance and discovered I'd had a fabulous CD sitting right under my nose. Catchy hooks, endearing vocal stylings, deep instrumentation (great variety, kickin' horn section!), and perfect production allow this album to cover a wide array of emotional and thematic ground, sure to appeal to many a varied musical pallate.
There are some straight-forward reggae tunes, but most tracks on "Unity" play more like adult contemporary radio standards built on a reggae foundation. "I Would Find A Way" is a bouncy and unashamedly optimistic slice of sunshine. "Tengo Ganas" is (imagine this) a smooth mix of R&B-latino-carribbean music. Both "Upful & Right" and "Young Revolutionaries" are intimate songs one might expect to hear under moonlight on a front porch in Jamaica.
Give this album a try, and I'm confident you won't be disappointed.
Quino !
This is one of those very rare instances when you'll enjoy every cut on the album. Quino is one of those once in a generation artist. I've had this for years and it is still a refreshing escape.
