Which ever reggae camp you're in - be it Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd's Studio One crew, the gang led by Lee 'Scratch' Perry from his Black Ark Mecca or Britian's Trojan Records, there is no shortage of timeless music to celebrate. This new compilation on the latter looks specifically at music to mark the 60th anniversary of Jamaica's independence in August 2022. All of it was recorded in the year the sun kissed island became a sovereign nation and it features ska and r&b classics by keystone artists like Jimmy Cliff, Derrick Morgan and Don Drummond. A mighty fine listen on a mighty fine occasion.
