you cant seperate roots and jah if you do that it just becomes a different form of reggae that doesnt go by the title of "roots", still reggae though.

it seems to me like some heptones lp's like Night Food and Party Time are not too focused on religious lyrics. both are killer sets!
[cover=440,536]
[cover=4894,54]
also desi roots' 1980 set Doin it Right is wicked
[cover=3282,1539]
horace andy's In the Light is a great LP with conscious lyrics not so religious, definitely check this
[cover=2890,3315]

I listen to both the political music and the Jah music. I did come to Reggae by way of the political, and still listen to that a bit more.
Lots of down-pression these days, so maybe that's also why.
