This is simply one of best albums in my collection. A very rootsy & classic album from Barrington Levy in his younger years. I think it's from 1979-1980 off of the Greensleeves label. This one is solid from start to finish, but a couple tracks stand out for shure: #6 (Look Youthman), #8 (Blackheartman), and #9 (Money Makes Friends). Of course the last four tracks are killer extended mixes of (Sister Carol) and (Englishman), but you have to make shure you get the recent re-issued disc. Mr. Levy displays some outstanding vocal range and these great fluctuating notes that fit into the music as naturally as another instrument. Englishman is a Junjo Lawes production with classics studio musicians like Flabba, Santa, and Chinna. When you see the talent that layed these tracks you'll put it in your top ten as well. The question is how close to the top it will be.
