From his early solo work for Niney the Observer in the 1970s through a trailblazing stint as lead singer of Black Uhuru - netting reggae music its first Grammy - to his magnificent later solo work, Michael Rose has consistently remained at the helm of one of reggae's most far - reaching sounds. He can always be counted on to be challenging, topical, musically expansive and lyrically visionary - no small feat in a genre that sets aside old styles like ska, rock steady, roots and dub for the rest of the world to mine as it drives relentlessly forward. Michael Rose is one of the defining voices in roots reggae music. (Chuck Foster - 'Reggae Central' KPFK 90.7 FM Los Angeles)
