AMG Review of 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Toots & The Maytals

Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guide

Toots & the Maytals' edition of 20th Century Masters is a very good summation of the group's greatest songs and therefore, their very importance. This doesn't have every great song they've ever done, and is not as comprehensive as other overviews assembled, but as a budget-line collection, it's first-rate, containing nearly everything a casual fan could want, including "Funky Kingston," "54-46 Was My Number," "Pressure Drop," and "Monkey Man."
