A brilliant retrospective of the immensely talented but only sporadically recorded Jamaican roots singer Norris Reid. Reid has never had the financial security to be a full time professional musician, yet the smattering of singles he released during reggae's golden age featured collaborations with many of the music's true luminaries. It adds up to two incredible LPs that can stand proudly with some of the best roots of the period.
