REVIEW IN ENGLISH: SOURCE: ROOTS MUSIC Reggae & Dancehall AUTHOR: Douweh Congo The past year has proven those roots reggae lovers who feared a final disappearance of their beloved genre wrong. We were treated to Capleton who gave us his Blazing album which bubbled and skanked ina Rootsman stylee. Sizzla delighted us with his sublime Da Real Thing, probably his best outing since his Black Woman And Child days. And, Warrior King delivered his debut album with as much roots fervour as can be expected from this young lyrical lion. The year 2003 promises a continuation of this positive roots vibe if we are to believe what Luciano offers us on his latest outing. It is called Serve Jah and boasts 13 hymns from the heart. Serve Jah shows Luciano as we have come to appreciate him in these last years. Real musicians playing real songs, and Luciano taking us on a spiritual journey from song 1 to song 13. Yes, those collectors of 7" might have heard songs such as: 'Win Or Lose', 'I Will Survive' or the combination with Capleton 'Hail King Selassie I' before. However, there are plenty of gems such as a revamped version of 'Long Story' (original by Rudy Mills) and a smoking version of the old spiritual 'Born Free'. Sure to say, Luciano has delivered another contemporary classic. (Douweh Congo) SOURCE: Oor (22 feb 2003) AUTHOR: Pieter Franssen Serve Jah Op zanger Jephter McClymont kun je bouwen. Slechte CD's maakt hij niet, zijn optredens zijn altijd zeer begeesterd en altijd heeft hij wel weer een verassing in petto. Deze keer is het House Of The Lord, solo met slechts akoestische gitaar gespeeld dat ontroering teweegbrengt en alle aandacht naar zich toetrekt. Zijn innemende stem schittert op verantwoorde, kwaliteitsrijke producties, deze keer van Black Scorpio. Tock klinkt hij een beetje saai in de turbulente jamaicaanse scene, waar Sean Paul, Buju Banton, Capleton en Junior Kelly beduidend meer artistiek risico durven te nemen. Alles deugt op deze plaat, van de koortjes tot aan de nyabinghi-trommels en de sax van Dean Fraser. Maar het is een veeg teken dat hij voor het meest stuwende nummer Hail King Selassie de hulp van Capleton nodig heeft. Desalniettemin, mooi en soulful zingen kan ie wel.
