Augustus Pablo, who died just last year of a rare nerve disorder, didn't pass away without leaving us with some of the finest roots reggae ever committed to (seven-inch) wax. Culled mostly from his own Rockers imprint, this collection is expertly compiled and captures many of the man's finest moments without overtly repeating other already available compilations. A deeply religious man, Pablo's work was distinctive for its spiritual feel as well as its author's instrument of choice--the melodica. "Cassava Piece", one of his all-time classics, kicks the album off and is followed by the even more celebrated vocal version of the tune, "Baby I Love You So" featuring legendary vocalist Jacob Miller. Also featured are gems such as "555 Crown Street", "Rockers Rock", "Bongo Pat's Young Generation" and "Black Gunn". Throughout these records, Pablo's distinctive minor-key playing (or "Rockers Sound", as it came to be known) lends a haunted, mystical sound that is stays with you a long time after the record has finished. Augustus Pablo might be gone from this earth, but he is a long way from forgotten. --
