Don Carlos was one of the original members of the
vocal group Black Uhuru, before Michael Rose and
others took over and put the name of Black Uhuru
on the World Wide Reggae Map. The Don's voice
sounds in no way similar to that of Michael Rose,
however.
Don Carlos is surely one of the sweetest
singers in Reggae. His melodies contain many licks
and hooks which are extremely difficult to do for
a vocalist. He is extremely talented, which shows
on the album in a very special way.
It doesn't matter whether the Don sings a
lovers lyrics or a conscious meditation, every
time he opens his mouth in front of the studio
microphone, he makes something special of the
tune. This shows on this album, where he sings
over some really crucial riddims and everything is
mixed almost perfect.
Most of the ten tunes are sung by Don Carlos,
and all of them are followed by a crucial DUB.
Noteworthy titles include the Abyssinians'
"Declaration Of Rights", and the title
track of course.
Definitely worth a listen, definitely worth
considering as a purchase even though you might
have to go to a second hand store or
whatever.
