This is a great album. The 2-disc set gives a whopping 36 (22+14) of the late Garnett Silk's hits. All the songs are really big hits. Garnett was one of the most talented entertainers Jamaica has ever produced. His songs are both enlightning and inspiring. The tracks are also very well written, well produced, and, while being mainly conscious songs, the set gives the listener the vibe to rock while meditating on the remarkable, well put togehter lyrics.
As far as favorites go, I must say that the whole album is enjoyable. My favorites include, Splashing Dashing, Lord Watch Over our Shoulders, Mama, Kingly Character, Hello Mama Africa, Nothing Can Devide Us, Oh Me Oh My, It's Growing, Commitment, Love is the Answer, See Bimbo Ya, Everything I've Got (personal favorite), Place in Your Heart, Disadvantaged, Fight Back, Complain, Fill Us Up With Your Mercy, Man Is Just A Man, Zion in a Vision, Spread The Love, and Singing for the People.
There is also an interview at the end of disc 2 which allows the lister to learn about the singer from the singer himself.
This is a great buy for any music lover. All fans of the late artiste will also love this album. I highly recommend it!!
"…Musica Antiqua convey equal vitality and character to the two most striking rarities here. JCF Bach’s double concerto for fortepiano and viola appears as a prototype symphony with important solo interjections. Melodically unexceptional, it is nevertheless stylish in a jejune way. CPE Bach – the most iconoclastic of the sons – successfully combines the prevailing keyboard instruments of the day, harpsichord and fortepiano. Fingers fly with aplomb – and no little mischief – as one is left to ponder the impact of this last Bach generation on Mozart and Beethoven, with whom there were (and are) of course many significant connections. Goebel provides a historical wake-up call." ~Gramophone
