and also Survival is the game by Winston Jarrett, but these are old song and so a bit off-topic

agree with many of the albums mentioned.
groundations' albums are great. "dub wars" is my favorite.
the st. croix roots is great.
sizzla's "black women and child" is a great 90s dancehall album, with a rootsy feel to many of the songs.
but, my ultimate favorite is "roots controller" by misty in roots. i really love that album.

well i must jump in again,Sir Marvin wrote:Both recent sets (Natural Black and Sizzla) recorded over classic Jammy´s riddims are somewhat overated (just my opinion)and they´re far from what I´d call original roots. That Alpheus album was not bad, but Glen Washington recorded pair of stronger albums.
i agree the album concept is wack but i like the 2-3 tunes they put on it as you cant have them on 45, i think those tune would more fit the 45 levels, i have to skip almost the whole sizzla cd but for natural black i must say the concept is better because they put the "fresh" & "bigger boss" riddims on it, so it ballance the whole ting
from now i have to call up ras shilo album sameway, he recorded also a few classic jammy riddim and i had to get all 3 album
yeh, glen washington had "wandering stranger" following to "brother to brother", both of them are real classics and woth buying anytime
i remember yami bolo said he recorded one album for coxsone but i think i've never seen it in store yet

i must say since channel one gone the most roots rock artits have a strong hustle, the most veterans recent album sound terrible from recording and ryddim , sly and robbie had a huge influence sameway but it seem they lost it

Prince lincoln and the royal rasses '21st century' is a nineties roots classic from 95 i think. RIP .
