AMG Review of Don't Haffi Dread
Rosalind Cummings-Yeates
All Music GuideWith a sound dubbed "urban roots rock eggae," Morgan Heritage, a group which consists of the five children of eggae singer Denroy Morgan, faithfully carry the oots reggae torch. Boasting smooth harmonizing and hopeful messages, these singers present a convincing case for the power of simple eggae "riddims." The quintet's rootsy sound shines on the opening track, "Reggae Road," and on the pure vocals of "Freedom," but their youth and energy are also positively displayed with the song's "toasting" sequence. This is the album for eggae fans looking to capture the original eggae sound epitomized by Bob Marley, but with a contemporary twist.
