Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The Southall roots reggae group Misty In Roots started out in 1978 and quickly gained a reputation as one of the hottest young bands around. Now, with Roots Controller, it's back. Originally led by brothers Walford and Delvin Tyson (who has since drowned), the band went on to record sporadically in the 80s, typically fusing political and ecological lyrics with an authentic roots style similar to that of fellow Londoners Aswad. After more than a decade-long recording sabbatical, the band returned to active duty in 2001 and subsequently recorded six new tracks for this formidable compilation. The gospel-tinged vocals, peppy horn charts and hypnotic rhythms are once again in full effect on the new material, with highlights "True Rasta" and "Cover Up" proving that Misty hasn’t lost a step in its time away. The album is filled out by five select tunes from its 80s albums and two raw live tracks from 1979's phenomenal Live at the Counter Eurovision. This is truly a must for any fan of conscious roots reggae. --Tad Hendrickson
