"If you like the sounds of early reggae, then this album is a must for your collection. "Weeping Eyes" and "Travel with Love" are mantras that I could listen to all day long! Full of humility, sincerety, honesty, beautiful vocals and purity. The rhythm section is worth buying the album alone - this is the same group that backed early Marley. This album is great late at night, and first thing in the morning, I think it is a classic."
Super-Fine reggae, classic Roots and Harmony from later era

"This is a truly superb record, top-rank in areas of vocals, songwriting, musicianship, and production. The line-up of players is the best, and I'm sure they loved making the music on this album. Sounds it. Some of the songs have a bluesy vamp goin' on -- one wonders if this has something to do with the fact that the label behind this recording (Nighthawk) was founded as a blues label. Note that there is a hidden bonus track on the CD in the form of a tasteful dub version of Sweet Loraine attached to the vocal cut. Audiophiles should also note that though this is not a re-mastered CD release, the sound quality is quite fine. Justin Hinds and the Dominoes left a slim legacy in terms of complete albums -- but this one (released in 1984) is a strong classic. Hinds' somewhat plaintive voice is a truly beautiful thing. Reggae lovers are fortunate that Nighthawk got him and his Dominoes out to make this beautiful recording."
CLASSIC CLASSIC CLASSIC!
