"This is a good example of the way things used to be. Stanley has captured the essence of roots going right back to the early Mento style of Jamaican music. Its like a Jamaican country music with very basic instruments Like banjo,acoustic guitar,clarinet, shakers and of course the instrument that holds it all together the rhumba box. Stanley's nazal vocals bring it all together for an ensamble that is truely pure musical pleasure, its like an orgasm of the ears. Stanley does three covers From the late great Bob Marley which are really well done. I highly recommend this album for all lovers of music."
