简介: What excitement, what power, what freshness of approach, what impeccable choice of tracks to toast to (toast means DJ in traditional reggae). This must be the most exciting toast album I have heard since Big Youth's 'Dread Locks Dread' (check it out). Shaggy has a wonderful strong voice, and the tracks he chooses to toast are all gems. Most of them unknown to me apart from Mungo Jerry's 'in the summer time' and Marley's 'Mr. Brown' (although the original is almost unrecognizable after shaggy's treatment of it). Shaggy generally goes for raunchy humor but social issues also play a part and I defy you not to be moved by Shaggies masterly adaptation of Ken Booths "The train is coming" (anybody know where the original can be found).
