Talkin' Roots is a volume of work created by the multi-talented and beloved Virgin Islands reggae band, Bambú Station. It was created to showcase the tremendous talent of reggae artists from the Virgin Islands, and to bring attention to their community's commitment and fervor to bear the torch of consciousness in reggae music. Bambú Station also set out to offer reggae lovers the spirit and live energy that only reggae affords; a mysticism, ambience and realness that is reggae's contribution to the world of music.

True to this mission, on May 8, 2002, Mt. Nebo Records released the first part of this volume, the huge Bambú Station classic, "Talkin' Roots ~Volume I." The album had an immediate impact on the industry and glazed over the hearts and souls of many in the reggae roots community. It also peaked the interest of the up-stream media and garnered many new adherents to Bambú Station. In 2002, Ireggae.com selected "Talkin' Roots ~ Volume I" as its "Compilation of the Year," and to date it continues to attract legions of fans to the phenomenal artists that were featured. Songs like "Woe!," "Only Jah Jah Know," "House of the Living," "The Draw," and "Works of the Wise" left fans amazed and craving for more.

In obligatory fashion for the roots fans about, we ecstatically present, Bambú Station's "Talkin' Roots II!" This compilation remains consistent with Volume I; powerful songs, tremendous energy, spectacular music, and unknown voices that should be heard. Those voices include Tuff Lion, Ijah Menelik, Bashan, Ibednego, Black Culture, Lady Passion and Ras Bumpa. Also featured are songs from some of the V.I.'s best songwriting talent including Bambú Station, Star Lion Family, Vaughn Benjamin of Midnite, Jahman, Danny I, Army, Pressure and the heartical Anhk Watep. We are not only excited to release Bambú Station's new album, but we are highly enthusiastic to share with the world our self-proclaimed Mt. Nebo anthem, "Good Works," by Tuff Lion. This song best represents our struggle and commission to share cutting-edge and soul-stirring independent music with the world. We are again humbled and Jah blessed to bring you quality alternatives to commercial radio programming. Our mission is clear. Like Bambú Station say, "Let the music flow, on and on." One love.
