Shaolin Temple : Barrington Levy

Barrington Levy's Shaolin Temple is a great roots album from the Auralux label (CD) released in 2006 and the original LP release from Jah Guidance in 1979.  The CD release has 14 tracks with four extended tracks and a super-bonus of Jah Thomas / Lawes Rockers Version of Shaolin Temple.  It's a killer dub instrumental of the humbling title track.  This is probably the second best Barrington Levy (Non-Compilation) album only bowing to English Man.  Barrington displays the same vocal prowess executed in English Man and the Producer Junjo puts together the driven crew of experts that pushed this album out, including: Mixing Engineer Scientist and Backing Band  Roots Radics.  You'll hear many familiar Junjo rhythms, used by others such as Daweh Congo.  Track twelve shares the beat with Daweh's killer track Human Rights & Justice.  The best tracks on this fully outstanding album are track #3 (Bounty Hunter w/ an outstanding intro), and numbers #13 & #14 which are both extended version of the title track Shaolin Temple.  Another good source to find other versions of many of these tracks is the Roots Radics Dub Fi Junjo disc, a dub tribute to the late Junjo Lawes.
