This Is Reggae Music Volume 2 (Island, 1975) A simply put together, yet quality collection that is valuable to both beginning and experienced listeners. This compilation gathers together well-known classic material like Augustus Pablo's "King Tubby Meets the Rockers Uptown," Burning Spear's "Marcus Garvey," and the evocative vocals of The Heptones' "Country Boy" alongside somewhat lesser-known tracks like George Dekker's "Time So Hard" -- with its bouncy digital chorus -- Desi Young's "I Don't Know Why I Love You" -- whose horn line is irresistible -- and Arthur Louis' version of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." Finally, Third World's '70s protest track "Freedom Song" is a delicious cherry on top of this treat of an album.
