Album Notes

"Reggae Music" is Ossie Dellimore’s long-awaited follow-up to "Freedom's Journal" and believe me when I say it was worth the wait. This is one of the strongest releases you’ll ever hear.

Opening with "The Secret To Success," this crucial release shows Ossie in strong vocal form and is full of back-to-back classics - clocking in at just over 60 minutes of brilliance. Ossie is one of the most prolific songwriters of his generation and he proves it throughout this disc.

"Scandal Mongerer" and "Caribbean And American" have been previously released on the Skank label (from "Crucial Reggae from Outside Jamaica Vol. 3" and "Classic Rasta From Jamaica And Beyond Vol. 1," respectively). Otherwise these tunes have never before been on any record. Each track is truly fantastic but especially moving is "Overstanding," a touching song he composed for his late sister.

Once again a 16-page informative booklet has been included, this time with Ossie's thoughts on each song as well as detailed lyrics and credits. Portions of the proceeds are, as usual, being donated to Doctors Without Borders, aka Medicines Sans Frontieres.

Skank Records is proud to offer Ossie Dellimore's sophomore release to the world. This one will undoubtedly be a serious contender for album of the year honors. Check it out.
