You know the way the air feels after a huge summer thunderstorm and the sun starts shining again while thunder rumbles in the distance? That's the mood of this album, one of Lee Perry's finest productions. The Heptones are at their finest as they sing militant and melancholy songs over Perry's dense rhythms. Highlights include the title track, a Rasta-influenced cover of Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released", the menacing "Storm Cloud", and the determined "Road Of Life". After years of being out of print, this classic album has been remastered and re-released on Chris Blackwell's Palm Pictures label. |
