专辑介绍
by Stewart Mason
The century's first Congos album of all new material, 2005's Give Them the Rights, comes a full six years after the spotty Revival, and leader Cedric Myton has used the time off to construct a much stronger set of tunes than that album could manage. More importantly, Myton has assembled nearly all of the old crew: Sly & Robbie produce, and the musician credits are like reading the starting lineup of someone's fantasy roots reggae team, from guitarist Earl &Chinna& Smith on down. The result is an impressive simulacrum of classic '70s roots reggae, and yet while it studiously ignores commercial trends and misbegotten attempts to &update& the familiar Congos sound, nor does it sound like a boring period piece. Instead, there's &Praise H.I.M.,& pure devotional roots reggae set to a gently swaying beat over which Myton trills a call-and-response lead vocal in his inimitable falsetto; the cutting character study &Mr. Shark&; and the thrilling anthemic opener, &It Can't Work.& Give Them the Rights is no Heart of the Congos -- you only get an album like that once in a career -- but it's far better than naysayers might expect.
