Jamaica`s music community has always been fascinated by American pop, rock, and soul hits, and covers of American songs have been a staple of the island`s modern pop era from the very beginning, through ska, rocksteady, reggae, dancehall, and beyond. This set, the latest in VP`s Covers for Reggae Lovers series, collects new versions of U.S. hits by island veterans and newcomers alike, including Studio One pioneer Winston Francis` reimagining of OneRepublic`s "Secrets," Freddie McGregor`s (McGregor is another venerable Studio One veteran) take on Marvin Gaye`s "What`s Going On" (backed by Soul 4 Soul), and New Kingston`s dancehall remodeling of Johnny Cash`s "I Walk the Line," among others. It`s a fun set, full of pervasive rhythms and Jamaican sunshine. ~ Steve Leggett
