Amazing! "Mighty High" by The High & Mighties is an incredible reggae rock audio journey! Infused with brass arrangements reminiscent of ska, The High & Mighties have concocted a delightful new sound with this pioneering collection! "Anything So Good" takes a turn to the rock side, with awesome electric solos and a groove that is simply contagious! The vocals on "Mighty High" are quite compelling and heart-felt. "Blue Skies" shows off this band's soothing vocals and artistic lyrics, while "No Matter What" demonstrates their skillful use of brass instruments. What's more, the production of "Mighty High" is fit for the best! Fans of Sublime and Bob Marley will fall head-over-heals for this collection of reggae rock hits!

"Answer Your Calling" by Joshua Alo (Reggae/Spiritual Artist from Hawaii (HI))

Joshua Alo's "Answer Your Calling" is a spiritually enriching collection of beautifully arranged reggae songs. Joshua's rich, soothing voice pierces through the instrumentation and pulls you into his musical paradise. An uncommon, yet enticing element that appears in most of the songs on this CD is acoustic guitar openings. For instance, the intros of "Angel" and "Blind Guides" sound like those of acoustic rock/alternative songs. As these songs progress, they make an effortless and seamless transition into the reggae genre with the introduction of groovy beats and catchy electric guitar riffs. Moreover, the lyrics of these graceful tunes are best described as pleasantly compelling – honest, poetic themes of divine purpose, higher callings, and passionate love! Stunning, top-notch production gives this album the right to be called a 'musical masterpiece!' Reggae lovers with an appreciation for Bob Marley and Soldiers of Jah Army will be pleasantly surprised by this uplifting work of art!
