Review

The Southall West London roots reggae group Misty in Roots started out in 1978 and quickly gained a reputation as one of the hottest young bands around. The band, originally led by brothers Walford Tyson and Delvin Tyson (who has since drowned), went on to record sporadically in the '80s, typically fusing political and ecological lyrics with an authentic roots style similar to that of fellow Londoners Aswad. After a decadelong recording sabbatical, the band returned to active duty in 2001 and subsequently recorded six new tracks for the formidable Roots Controller compilation. The gospel-tinged vocals, peppy horn charts, and hypnotic rhythms are once again in full effect on the new material, with highlights "True Rasta" and "Cover Up" proving that Misty haven't lost a step in their time away. The album is filled out by five select tunes from the group's '80s albums and two raw live tracks from 1979's phenomenal Live at the Counter Eurovision. This is truly a must for any fan of conscious roots reggae. --Tad Hendrickson
