Ken Boothe's Timeless Comeback
5 out of 5 stars
IdnavxLhayaXWSeptember 5, 2024United States🇺🇸
I must say, this album has truly won me over and I'm more than happy with the quality of my copy's pressing. "Inna De Yard" by Ken Boothe is a fantastic comeback for a genuine reggae icon. Backed by the musicians from the present-day "Inna De Yard" group, the album's mostly acoustic reggae sound is both eerie and awe-inspiring, much like the primary "Inna De Yard" albums. The song selection showcases Ken's timeless songwriting prowess and his vocals are absolutely stellar here. As for the pressing quality, I guess I'm fortunate to have a copy with hardly any hiss, so I'm content and can't really comment on the problems others have encountered. It's definitely something to keep in mind, but I'd wholeheartedly recommend it otherwise.
