Notes:  Peter gives his all on this reggae rocker. Released on  Rolling Stones Records and with Keith and Mick pitching in on a few tunes as well. Soulful vocals, skankin' beats and tasty guitar parts are in turn relaxing, invigorating and just make ya wanna kick up your heels and dance. As with most good reggae politics plays its part and the music tells the tale of the people and they in turn carry the music to the halls of justice. It has been called dangerous music by those in power. The front cover photo seems to show the doctor himself drawing power from his surroundings. Keep on singin' people, we ain't done yet...
