Better Music, Better Planet

03/08/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD compilation of several different songwriters and musicians is as listenable as it is inspiring. Rooted in reggae and world beat, "Music for a Better Planet" continues on where Bob Marley left off. The lyrics incorporate messages of hope in catchy melodies that you want to sing all day. This album features excellent vocals in a variety of song styles and arrangements. "Promise of Love", sung by the gritty and soulful Jerry McCann is a classic. "Love Is The Answer", sung by the immensely gifted Darryl Johnson, is reminiscent of the great Marvin Gaye. The lush instumental, "Healing Mother Earth", uses the ancient and modern primitive instruments of Jim French to invoke a natural ambiance that takes you to a place in the creation untouched by the worries of modern life. This album incorporates surprising variety with a uniting purpose beaufifully summarized in the liner notes prose piece using each of the song titles: "Realize that You Are The Music and don't forget the Promise of Love". Music for A Better Planet is beautiful, heartful concept album that everyone should have in their CD collection not only for musical enjoyment, but also to remind us of the universal truths and values making life a journey of love and wonderment."
