"I've always been a huge Shinehead fan, back from the days when he was down with the African Love soundsystem in the Bronx. I'm pretty sure this album never received a wide audience, and that's a shame. It is great and definitely worth seeking out! "Praises" features a lot of well-chosen covers, including a version of Monica's "Before You Walk Out of My lIfe" that I like better than the original. Old school covers include a rendition of "Summer Breeze", which he renamed "Collie Weed", turning the song into a pro-herb poem.Although Shinehead takes a big part of the production responsibilities, Bobby Konders and Mad Lion and Sleepy Wonder also represent for the BK massive.Please get this album. You won't be disappointed. Big up New York reggae!"
