Reggae Hits 32 (Jet Star, 2003) I've been an ardent supporter of Jet Star's Reggae Hits collections since the late '90s -- when competing compilations from the Reggae Gold and Strictly the Best series started to decline in quality -- but even I must admit that this edition is the worst I've heard yet. While there are a couple of great tunes -- namely, a surprisingly tender, old-fashioned gospel-leaning roots gem from Sizzla called "Blessing" and the fiery Luciano/Rasites product "Leaders" -- too much of Reggae Hits 32 is plagued by:
A few tracks -- Beres Hammond's "Live My Life," Beene Man's "Use U Fist," and little-known Lee Francis' "Turn Me On" -- stand out from the wealth of mediocrity along with the Sizzla and Luciano/Rasites tunes, but for the most part, these are "reggae misses"; and unfortunately, this is the second such miss in a row for Reggae Hits. |
