Matisyahu - Youth

Matisyahu - Youth * Artist: Matisyahu See Also: Leftover Salmon Blues Traveler Widespread Panic Description:Personnel: Matisyahu (vocals); Roots Tonic. Recording information: Orange Sound, West Orange, New Jersey. Following up his much-heralded live album and a prominent guest appearance on P.O.D.`s TESTIFY, Hasidic reggae singer Matisyahu unveiled his major-label studio debut, YOUTH, in early 2006. Primarily produced by Bill Laswell (something of an avant-garde equivalent to Rick Rubin), this 2006 outing finds Matisyahu backed by his LIVE AT STUBBS ensemble (here dubbed Roots Tonic), which can turn on a dime from dancehall to heavy rock. Although labeled by some as a novelty act, Matisyahu presents his unusual musical hybrid with passion, whether charging through the fierce, Bad Brains-like title track or plaintively crooning on the acoustic "What I`m Fighting For" (which strongly recalls Bob Marley`s "Redemption Song"), proving that his attempts to reach out and transcend musical and cultural boundaries are, if nothing else, genuine.Track Listing: •DISC 1 1.Fire of Heaven/Altar of Earth 2.Youth 3.Time of Your Song 4.Dispatch the Troops 5.Indestructable 6.What I`m Fighting For 7.Jerusalem - (Patois) 8.WP 9.Shalom/Saalam 10.Late Night in Zion 11.Unique Is My Dove 12.Ancient Lullaby 13.King Without a Crown Album Information
