Israel Vibration - Free to Move (1996)




Artist: Israel Vibration
Album: Free to Move
Genre: Reggae
Release Date: 1996
Label: Ras
RIYL: Gregory Isaacs

Rating: *****

A fantastic album of various reggae styles. With the backing of one of my favorite reggae session groups, the Roots Radics (long time back up band for Gregory Isaacs) and three amazing vocalist this album is a real treat. Israel Vibration effortlessly moves between different styles, always pushing the envelope of what reggae is and what it can be. Lyrics deal with Rastafari, love, and urban life. Highly recommended for fans of roots reggae. If you like Bob Marley and you wish to begin expanding your horizons with reggae, you can hardly go wrong by starting with Israel Vibration.
