I bet it rocked,though...I like how you know so much about them...what other raggae artists do you like?...my name is Taylor and this is my myspace name,if you have one: :::Taylor:::...just add me or something. We can talk about the music...;) 337350@blogcritics.org Mon, 20 Mar 2006 16:21:44 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/11/12/171132.php#comment-56225 Thanks Natalie! Very glad you liked it. Certainly my judgment that Toots is number two is just personal opinion, but I am glad to hear you agree. Between the incomparable voice, the songwriting, the longevity, the popularity, I think the case for Toots is strong. 56225@blogcritics.org Tue, 6 Apr 2004 08:55:07 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/11/12/171132.php#comment-56189 Interesting... Great piece, Eric, and thanks again for bigging-up Toots, but there are those who could make a solid case for Winston "Burning Spear" Rodney being number two. And then there are the mighty Skatalites... The more I think about it, though (especially if we are leaving producers and mainstream popularity -- which doesn't mean crap -- out of the mix), the more I am inclined to agree with you. As Marley did, Toots radiates such warmth and vibrancy and positivity onstage. And what a craftsperson: In his quest to create quality sounds, he is very demanding of the musicians who support him. It all adds up to top-notch music. Hail Toots! 56189@blogcritics.org Tue, 6 Apr 2004 01:27:43 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/11/12/171132.php#comment-56141 On April 6, 2004, Toots and The Maytals are releasing True Love, a with-friends album that I've had a promotional copy of for a few days. It's excellent--definitely one to buy if you like the CD suggested by this article. I have a review on my site, if you're interested.
