5 out of 5 stars AWESOME CD   September 12, 2008
I've always prided myself in knowing the cool/awesome/off-the-wall music that no one else had heard of. So I'm embarassed that it took me 40 years to discover Toots. My God!!!! This is one of the best albums I've ever heard. Cover to cover, this is incredible, beautiful music!! I wish I had it in college.


4 out of 5 stars classic roots reggae album...   November 13, 2007
A must for anyone delving deeper into rock steady and roots reggae. The fact is that the jamaican roots music revelution went a lot deeper than Bob Marley. This is a good one to give you another point of view on how
oppressive the government is and the underlying love of their country that jamaicans embody. PEACE


4 out of 5 stars Great reggae! Nice change of pace from Marley   October 22, 2007

For all us white boys, this is a nice change of pace from Bob Marley.


3 out of 5 stars Toots is best heard on LIVE recordings   October 11, 2007
Sure...on this double album you get many of the tunes Toots and company have made famous but the studio versions lack the excitement and power of the live recordings. That is where Toots really shines. The band is able to stretch out and let Toots do his thing. If you want to hear the originals then this record is for you but if you want to get a load of the power that is Toots & The Maytals I'd highly recommend starting with "Live" and "Live in London" as they are far better representations of what this fine band can do. Roots, Rock, Reggae!


5 out of 5 stars I see you in the dark...   August 3, 2007
This is a great roots reggae style two-for-one album from one of the top 5 reggae acts of all time: Toots & the Maytals. If you like the original Wailers, Burning Spear, Steel Pulse, etc. then you should go ahead a buy this because you won't be disappointed. Best songs are "Pressure Drop," "Time Tough," "Pomp and Pride" (my favorite Toots song), "Redemption Song" (completely different version than Bob Marley's), "Funky Kingston," and gosh there are too many to name. I'm listening to it right now and its beautiful. Get it!
