Comments for Prince Far I, Musical History

Despite Prince Far I`s gravelly voice going through a rough patch at the time of recording, "Musical History" still has some really special moments. None more so than the opening number which kicks into action with a lively rockers riddim and a catchy chant by Prince Far I. Other tracks of note are the pro-marijuana "Tell Them About Jah Love" which criticises governments for criminalising the drug and meanwhile buying and supplying arms ("The ganja never kill no one/ The gun kill a lot of man/ The knife take a lot of life"). Good sentiment, as I would say ! Prince Far I actually attempts a kind of singing in "More We Are Together" which works well (reminds me of Ninjaman`s more recent attempts at singing rather than toasting !). Some may find side two of the album is heavy going in comparison, with no real stand out tracks. But anyone who has enjoyed the likes of "Free From Sin" will appreciate what follows, as Prince Far I chants some heavy Jah Jah vibes in between puffs of his big spliff (nice front cover too !).The above is taken from the PRINCE FAR I HOME PAGE at:http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~rastarat/prince.htm
