Another excellent album from Richie
Gideon Boot consolidates Richie's status as one of the most talented reggae singer-songwriters. All the music is great, but the title track stands out - a beautiful affirmation of the power of love and gnostic relationship with Jah: "I do believe in love. We'll get the blessing from above." And Let's Go is just exhilarating. Nonetheless, this album reveals quite clearly Richie's weakness: his lack of political awareness. Listen to World Crisis: "World crisis. I can hear the people cry... people die of malnutrition. I don't know the reason why. I'm praying for peace in the world today." Richie lacks the socio-political sophistication of say, the late great Peter Tosh with his insight into the mind-set and strategies of the "downpressor man". So, for example, The World Is A Cycle is, musically, a great song - beautiful rhythms - but its message is vague and banal. In short, this album makes it on the music. br /

His best album so far....
This is by far Richie Spice's best album to date and is an absolute must have for any serious reggae fan. His previous three albums are all good in their own right(I have all 3) but as said, THIS IS HIS BEST!!!!
