The more linval the better

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Linval Thompson, yet another highly talented singer and producer from the tiny island called Jamaica, is represented nicely on this Blood and Fire compilation. His passionate voice and conscious lyrics combined with dread production values from heavyweights like Bunny Lee, Henry 'Junjo' Lawes as well as thompson himself create an outstanding retrospective of his Seventies output. Yet another sure-shot from Blood and Fire."

"Linval was definitely a pioneer of Dancehall music. This album is by far one of the best collections of his music that I have ever found. Unfortunately he never got much acclaim in the states, but he is definitely a genre pioneer. If you like Tosh, Bob, or the Wailers you will enjoy this. He has an ultra calming voice, that provides excellent background music for a party or just relaxing. His lyrics are deep and free spirited."
