2. Sound of A Hit - I really like the percussion in this song. I remember once when my band was
opening for a bigger Reggae act. I was talking with their drummer and he said something that
must be true, that is, as a drummer once you go Reggae you never go back. Just listen to this
song and the way the percussion is hitting the various instruments in its arsenal and I think you
will agree even if you aren’t a drummer. The best way to summarize this song is with the ending
“That was good.”
3. Ooh Baby - This
song starts with some
hypnotic guitar then
the drums come in for
the attack before the
track goes into full
Reggae mode. This is
really a Reggae love
song that, in its own
way, is quite tender
and sweet. Don’t
worry though this isn’t
some lame Journey
song from the 80s, this
love song grooves.
4, Reggae Blues -
This song starts with a
blast! Good God I
love raunchy blues
with just the right
amount of
feedback. The shuffle
groove on the high-hat
goes so well with the absolutely cranking guitar. Jimi must be looking down smiling. This song
is called Reggae Blues for a good reason. There is enough lightning to please the blues folks
while the Reggae vibe is strong enough for the Dread Heads to let those locks fly. Well done
Ricky! This is perhaps my favorite track on the album.
5. Jah I Need Your Love - I dig the almost surf like intro which morphs into a Reggae vibe
which is enhanced by some truly nice leads and a soul filled horn section. The pounding drums
between verses seem put there just to let the listener know than an explosion can occur anytime
the Ricky chooses. As good as the music is, what really stands out are the vocals. Ricky has a
very good voice.
