Ska music review One of the best acoustic blues albums ever!
I'm a serious acoustic blues fan. I give this album five stars out of at least three reasons. First, the songs selected are all classic blues takes and the singers are all famous modern acoustic bluesmen. Second, the songs are sung and accompanied in a fantastic way. The most outstanding tracks include "Goin' Down Slow" by Eric Bibb, which is the version I like best, "C.C. Pill Blues" by Corey Harris, "Malted Milk" by John Hammond, ... As a matter of fact, there is not a weak track in this album! Last but not least, the recording quality is fantastic! I highly recommend this album. If you, as a blues lover, haven't got this album, you shouldn't hesitate. Get one at once and try not to get drunk listening to it! Acoustic blues is the introduction to blues music.

Ska music review Nice Boogie Overview
.
This is a great selection of boogie woogie tunes performed primarily by bands. The sound quality is fine and there are some extremely rare and wonderful performances. Especially noteworthy are Boogie Woogie on St Louis Blues, Oscar's Boogie, and Central Avenue Breakdown.

I greatly enjoy listening to the piano boogie masters (Lewis, Ammons, Johnson) and to hear their incrdible solo stuff - you must look elsewhere. But on this collection I discovered a few fantastic boogie-ers I had never heard of (Jay McShann, Ray McKinley, to name two). Very fun. Well worth the [money]

Ska music review Definitely A Serious Thing
I've been listening to reggae for over 20 years and this album has been in my CD player for over 10 of those years. Albert Giffiths vocals are strongly under-rated. The structural integrity of this album is outstanding with a variety of mellow yet happy tracks. If you have most of Bob's albums and a few other reggae greats but feel the need to experience a new group of reggae specialists, I highly recommend this one. It's as serious as reggae gets.

Ska music review At last!!!!
For those of you who have read my comments on the other "best of" Dekker cds are aware, I love his work and have been critical of what was, or was NOT, included on those cds.

Now THIS is what I am talking about in terms of a great compilation cd for him. The hits are ALL there, save one or 2, but overall, this collection best showcases his fantastic rocksteady output better than any other I've seen to this point.

The best parts are that you can preview all of the tunes,. so there are no surprises as to what you are getting (they're all top 20 hits on here, folks..all quality!!!), and the price is also hard to beat... you get all top grade hits for a very reasonable price..heck, if I didn't own so many Dekker lps I'd buy this one myself!!

Stop delaying, and get to previewing this album- and add it to your collection!!Well, just don't sit there....enjoy!

Ska music review Fighting Gravity (formerly Boy O Boy) Rocks
I have been looking for this CD for quite a while. I had the good fortune to see FG (they were Boy O Boy then) several times at Mitty's in the Omni Newport News hotel. Great music and even better live performance! High energy the whole night through. The music is fantastic. Jimi Hendrix would be proud of the ska version of Purple Haze (Purple Ska). Favorite track was "Darling". A must have especially for early 90's ska band followers

Ska music review tracks 1,2,4 yea tracks 3,5,6 nay
the first two tracks were intense- the guitar was non-stop pulling some wilds riffs the disc then slows a little, but all in all, buy it because ALL I NEED IS A HOLIDAY ROCKS!! SEE THEM LIVE!

Ska music review oh why did you break up?!
one of the best cd's in my collection...these guys combine streetpunk vocals with fast ska, and perfect the genre in my opinion (and i'm usually right). Tons of energy on this record, and phenonemal guitar work. if your into fast punk, ska, either-or...buy this...great.
