Various - Reggae Christmas Festive Caribbean Classics

Review by Gino Marin

Reggae Christmas Festive Caribbean Classics is a delightful album that showcases the best of Caribbean music during the holiday season. The album features various artists, including Jimmy Cliff, John Holt, and The Maytals, among others. The album is a perfect blend of reggae, ska, and rocksteady, which makes it a unique and enjoyable listening experience.

The album starts with Jimmy Cliff's "Christmas Time," a classic reggae tune that sets the mood for the rest of the album. The album also features John Holt's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)," a cover of John Lennon's song, which is a perfect fit for the reggae genre. The Maytals' "Christmas Feeling Ska" is a catchy tune that will have listeners dancing along.

The album also includes some lesser-known tracks, such as "Soulful Christmas" by The Hippy Boys and "Santa Claus Is Ska-ing to Town" by Granville Williams Orchestra, which are both excellent additions to the album. The album ends with a beautiful rendition of "Silent Night" by The Heptones, which is sure to put listeners in the Christmas spirit.
