Product description

Dive into the rich, rhythmic world of I-Roy with his 1978 classic, "Heart Of A Lion." This roots reggae masterpiece, released under Virgin Records, is a testament to I-Roy's distinctive toasting style and his ability to blend rocksteady, dub, and reggae into a cohesive, captivating sound. The album, digitally remastered in 2000, features ten tracks that showcase I-Roy's lyrical prowess and the soulful backing of legendary musicians like Earl 'Chinna' Smith.

From the title track "Heart Of A Lion" to the infectious "Tonight" and the thought-provoking "Peace In The City," each song is a journey through the heart of 70s reggae. I-Roy's unique vocal delivery and the album's production, helmed by I-Roy and Harry Johnson, make "Heart Of A Lion" a standout in the roots deejay genre. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to I-Roy's music, this album offers a timeless exploration of reggae's golden era, filled with tracks that are as powerful today as they were in 1978.

This is a 2000 Reissue released as a LP.
