Title: soulful reggae
Product review: The Jamaican Wilson Pickett? Hmm, not a bad comparison. If anything, that tells you that Ken Boothe was not your typical reggae singer. Actually, it's perhaps unfair to pigeonhole him, or all his material, as reggae simply because he comes from Jamaica. Ken Boothe possessed a very soulful vocal style and could do covers of popular pop songs with an interesting island twist. This 2-CD set contains a lot of songs, thus it may be more music than most newcomers may want to digest at once. But it's nonetheless a very good, very listenable compilation of material from one of reggae music's more neglected song sylists.
