A nice slice of old Jamaican ska.......2003-09-01

This is not actually a far-reaching, overall introduction to the ska style, as such, but rather a collection of old tunes taken from the archives of one particular label, Jamaican producer Vincent "Randy" Chin's work for the pioneering Federal label. Although these are vintage recordings, made between 1960-65 and feature many of the biggest names in Jamaican ska (the Skatalites, The Maytals, Don Drummond, etc.) these aren't necessarily the most classic, immortal songs of the genre. Still, collectors and newbies alike will find this a vigorous and rewarding collection, on a par with the Studio One reissues Rounder Records has been putting out over the years.

Customer Reviews:

Great music!!.......2007-01-17

The Rough Guide to World Music, Vol. 2 is a wonderful compilation of songs from around the world. I am so glad I added this to my collection. I actually purchased this for a cultural diversity fair we had at our hospital and it served perfectly as background music for the event. The variety of songs is great and they are each so unique and wonderful to listen to. I thoroughly recommend it!

A Potpourri of Pleasaure.......2000-10-12

Talk about diverse! This Rough Guide travels from Cuban son and the magnificent piano playing of Ruben Gonzalez to popular Indonesian songs and back again. One must have an open mind and broad tastes to be able to absorb the vastly divergent styles on this CD. However, each selection is superb on its own terms, and most of the music is danceable. If you are truly a connoisseur of world music, try this companion CD to volume two of the revised ROUGH GUIDE TO WORLD MUSIC.
