Notes: The
first taste of reggae that a lot of America got came by way of
this record. Along with Bob Marley's "Jamming",
the title cut from this record echoed throughout college radio
for years to come. An anthem of sorts, Tosh makes no bones
about what side of the fence he is on. With his split from the
Wailers and his subsequent premature death a lot of people dismissed
much of his contribution to the roots of what became reggae and
world music, but one listen to this record should erase all doubt.
Powerful lyrics sung over a tight rhythm section with a soulful
conviction makes it all come together. Tosh was of a strong will
and would not be led where he did not want to go. This comes out
in his music as well as he own personal life. The cover photo speaks
for itself. Jah Rastafari! Sleep well brother Peter...
