Prophecy contains a number of truly heartfelt
titles. Crucial Situation, Prophecy, and the more
than penetrating Jah Hear My Plea are reasons
alone to try and purchase this album, if you can
still find it.
The message is crucial, and the way Don Carlos
sings the message makes it impossible to not be
touched in one way or another. Especially the fact
that there's some DUB niceness in the second part
of each track (after all, it's a showcase album)
enhances the vibe of the tunes significantly.
Originally, the vinyl album was released in
1987. That was a time wherein Rub a Dub was slowly
being replaced with ragga/dancehall as the popular
music in Jamaica. Nothing of that on this one,
though. This is played by a band, mixed crucially
and of course accompanied by the great voice of
one of the original singers of Black Uhuru.
There's a thing, though...
Indeed, the album seems to be out of print and
that means you got to look for it. If you're
living in the US, though, you can get the MP3's of
this document of Rub a Dub niceness for a few
cents.
