Review

One of roots reggae's institutions, Culture has cut a broad swath through Jamaican music thanks to potent political lyrics and an organic roots reggae sensibility that eschews dancehall's rough ghetto patois and digitized music making in favor of sweet-sounding vocal harmonies and live music backing. On its 30th album, the long-running outfit is still led by Joseph Hill, whose raspy sing-song vocals and rastafari political convictions touch on such subjects as oppression ("No Segregation," "Sweet Freedom"), war ("World Peace"), ganja ("Bud A Bawl"), and salvation ("Holy Mount Zion" and "Walk In Jah Light"). Hill's messages are nicely supported by solid, groove-driven backing from the Firehouse Crew (a great group of hired studio guns), noted Jamaican saxophonist Dean Fraser, and members of Shaggy's backing band. Culture first made its impact felt in the mid-'70s, but this album proves that Hill and company still have much to say. --Tad Hendrickson
