With Buju Banton's grand return to the dancehall on his 2006 release, TOO BAD, fans clamoring for the strictly-ragga flow of his early hits could rest easy that the gravelly-voiced master had not lost his touch. But as anyone who has tracked Banton's often tumultuous career would know, it's been the singer's 1995 conversion to the Rastafarian faith that has defined the arch of his career into the 2000s. RASTA GOT SOUL (2009) represents the completion of a long-anticipated album, first begun in 2005 and continuing in the modern roots style pioneered by Banton on releases such as TIL SHILOH (1995) and INNA HEIGHTS (1997). While heartfelt ballads like "Magic City" or energetic ska-styled throwbacks such as "A Little Bit of Sorry" may not appeal to hardcore dancehall heads, fans of authentic roots-flavored riddims will find lots to love here.
