It's a keeper ain't it. There are bits of it which are pure soul, but overall it's the perfect balance between that and reggae. The song in the video there isn't actually on the album (couldn't find any that were), but it does sound a lot like most of the LP.

Aswad started off cool, but got pretty poor as they went for that whole pop-reggae sound in the 80s (though I do like a few songs they did then). Burning Spear's the shizz too.

I'll be putting up the roots mixtape if you wanna try that before hunting any albums down. Could take a day or two to get online though.
