Album Reviews
Jah Works:
Occasional small bits of good news are necessary for a balanced lifestyle. One such
tidbit that gladdened my heart recently was a brief note on Mt. Nebos
web site, to the effect that there will soon be a second various artists compilation, "Talkin
Roots II". To me thats splendid news because it will likely be as
entertaining and uplifting as "Talkin Roots I". And in the
meantime, there are other current albums from Bambu Station Studio to sample. - More
Skank Productions:
"Talkin Roots - Volume 1" is one crucial CD.
This is hard-core roots reggae with a message, eminating from the U.S. Virgin Islands (with
most of the artists hailing from St. Croix). The first thing you notice about this disc is the
conscious cover. Charles D. Ellison's artwork has students looking at a chalkboard with the
following words written on it: "JAH, LIFE, POLITRICKS, WISDOM, CONTROL, SCRIPTURE."
Thought-provoking cover, and I'll tell ya, some serious, thought-provoking (and absolutely
killer) tunes. - More
UA
Journal:
Maryland-based Mt. Nebo Records' debut release, Talkin'
Roots I, is one of the stronger releases as of late from a US-based reggae label.
Though it's unlikely most listeners have heard of Bambu Station Studio or any
of the various Virgin Islands-based artists on the collection, there's no doubt that the roots
are thick and heavy and that Mt. Nebo is going to be a label to watch. - More
Reggae Reviews:
It's rare that I get so excited to review an album, but such is the case with the
compilation Talkin' Roots Volume 1 -- partly because it is so little-known and partly because
it's just that good. A product of the Maryland-based Bambu Station Studio and the newly
formed Mt. Nebo Records, Talkin' Roots is a compilation for any proponent of keeping roots
reggae alive and fresh. - More
