Explosive reggae powered by Toots Hibbert’s gospel-charged voice. The rhythms are tight and irresistible, blending soul energy with classic Jamaican groove. Few records feel this joyful from start to finish.

Soul meets funk meets reggae. Frederick "Toots" Hibbert (1942-2020) formed the vocal trio The Maytals in 1962 and eventually added more instrumentalists over time. He brought many elements from his church upbringing into his music, and became one of the most successful acts in the 70s with the album and the "Reggae Got Soul" album. The band broke up in 1981 and Toots reformed it in the early 1990s.
