As one of the few female reggae DJs who have been able to build a solid career without resorting to pop pandering or sexpot posturing, Sister Carol has always been an inspiration. And amazingly, she just keeps moving from strength to strength; each of her releases has been better than the last, and it's hard to imagine how she'll top this one. She's always been more of a sing-jay than a straight toaster, and she's always put as much emphasis on the groove as on her strict but joyous religious messages. Thus the plainly didactic cooking lesson of &Strong and Fit& is still sure to nice up any dance at which it's played, and even ho-hum pronouncements like &No matter how hard they try, they cannot stop reggae& are made compelling by the sheer exuberance of her delivery. Stylistically, she's an innovator (note the dancehall/rocksteady hybrid riddim in effect on &Dread Natty Congo&), but she's also comfortable working in a classic dancehall DJ tradition on cuts like &Red Eye& and &Strong and Fit.& Sugar Minott stops in to pay his respects, and there's even a touch of version for dubhounds. Is it a perfect reggae album? Maybe so.
