Time Tough: The Anthology

CD-Charts > Music > Caribbean and Cuba
by: Toots & the Maytals

Release Date June 18, 1996
In the beginning, there was Sam Cooke. Following in that groove were Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye. Toots' reggae is rooted in the soul/R&B vein, and no one did it better. This first CD features his older material with more of a traditional soul sound: highlights include the seminal "Do the Reggay", the underdog themes of "Pressure Drop" and "Time Tough", and the Memphis horns sounding anthem "Reggae Got Soul". CD#2 features love songs, positive: "My Love is so Strong", sad: "Just Like That" and anger: "Chatty Chatty". Then the songs start to take on a more spiritual bend: "Careless Ethiopians", "Spiritual Healing" and the drop dead gorgeous "Peace, Perfect Peace". Not a clinker in the collection.

Sublime Ilusion

CD-Charts > Music > Caribbean and Cuba
by: Eliades Ochoa

Release Date June 29, 1999
Soulful but gritty songs and effortlessly expressive solo and rhythm guitar from the man who was the guitar drive behind (and upfront of) Buena Vista Social Club. Comparisons to Johnny Cash have already begun. Criticizing this man's work because of his natural singing voice (like one reviewer who spends a paragraph over-analyzing it...) is missing the point and akin to criticizing blues players for less than brilliant singing. Perfect pipes aren't everything - I'd rather listen to Billie Holiday than Whitney Houston anyday.

Mi Sueño

CD-Charts > Music > Caribbean and Cuba
by: Ibrahim Ferrer

Release Date April 24, 2007
Mi Sueño Ferrer's voice is seasoned to perfection. This is a man who has experienced life at its fullest and his interpretations demonstrate that. His phrasing is perfect in the romantic boleros and his voice is still strong, revealing his sonero roots. This is a CD that people will listen to again and again. This beautiful dream is real. Ferrer leaves us a marvelous gift.

Cuban Lullaby

CD-Charts > Music > Caribbean and Cuba
by: Various Artists, Bola Denieve, Rey Guerra, Clave y Guaguanco, Mercedes Valez

Release Date October 24, 2000
Our whole family loves listening to this CD. However, as you might be able to tell from the product description, the music starts off softly lulling children to sleep and then picks up the beat and volume in the later part. So, just when my kids were starting to relax-they suddenly felt like dancing. We solved the problem by using the feature on our CD player which allows us to pre-program only the songs we want for bedtime. Really a nice collection of songs.
