CD Review
>>
One of the best reggae albums of recent years, Black Gold was cut with a spot-on band in the Virgin Islands by the songwriter and singer Toussaint. While he can vocalize commandingly in reggae style, Toussaint also has the chops of a testifying soul singer and R&B balladeer. Much of Black Goldmoves in strict reggae tempo, accented by cool horns and tasty guitar licks, but several tracks are indebted to reggae’s roots in American R&B. Perhaps the catchiest song, “Roots in the Modern Time,” is a meaningful critique of contemporary society from a Rastafarian moral perspective. 08/13/10
