AMG Review of This Is Crucial Reggae: Dennis Brown

Steve Leggett
All Music Guide

Jamaica lost its crown prince of reggae when Dennis Brown died in 1999. This brief collection features some of his biggest hits, including "Money in My Pocket," "Milk and Honey," "Sitting and Watching," and "Wolves and Leopards." More complete compilations are available, but as a quick introduction to Brown and his easygoing baritone, this one pretty much gets the job done.
