The return of the great Ijahman Levi aka Trevor Sutherland, creator of such hallowed roots classic as Jah Heavy Load, I’m A Levi and Moulding. Recorded at Anchor and Channel One with musicians such as Chinna, Omar Johnson, Barnabas, Earl ‘Bagga’ Walker, Pablo Black, Dean Fraser and Bongo Herman, Versatile Life finds Levi’s soulful voice and spiritual values intact on tracks such as Ring The Alarm (not the Tenor Saw classic), Spiritual Healing, Witness, Victim, Versatile Life, Robin Hood, the eight minute long Busy Body – most tracks weigh in at around the five minute mark - and I Believe. Romantic matters are addressed on In The Night and its acoustic version. Ijahman breaks no new ground here, but if you hold his classic Hail I Hymn and Are We A Warrior albums in high regard, then this can’t fail to impress.
