Sizzla - The Journey: The Very Best Of Sizzla Kalonji (Greensleeves) CD/DVD

Highly anticipated Sizzla Kalonji collection from Greensleeves that attempts to present the very best of Sizzla, an almost impossible task, one has to concede, for one CD. Arguments will rage regarding the track selection – skilfully compiled by Maximum Sound empresario Frenchie – everyone will have their own idea as to what exactly is the “real” Very Best of Sizzla, yet tracks such as Just One Of These Days, Praise Ye Jah, Good Ways, Thank You Mama and Black Woman & Child would have to appear on anyone’s Best Of. The enticing inclusion of the previously unavailable The Solution has been scuppered by that tracks release on 45 a couple of weeks ago, yet this is a terrific one-stop for some truly wicked contemporary reggae music, favouring the rootsier, melodic side over the crazed bashment he’s also notorious for. Highlights include the awesome Firehouse Crew production Like Mountain from ’96, the killer Xterminator track Rastafari Teach I Everything and the overlooked Don Corleon 45 Where Are You Running To. Also included is a bonus DVD featuring unseen and rare footage.  GRELCD315
