Review by Pete Jornal

Jamaica Song, the album by Lloyd Charmers, is a classic reggae masterpiece. The album was released in 1974 and was produced by Charmers himself. The album features a blend of roots reggae, rocksteady, and soulful ballads, all of which are delivered with Charmers' signature smooth vocals.

The album opens with the title track, "Jamaica Song," a classic roots reggae anthem that celebrates the beauty and culture of Jamaica. The album also features other standout tracks like "Sweet Harmony" and "Colour Him Father," both of which showcase Charmers' soulful vocal style.

One of the highlights of the album is Charmers' cover of the Bob Dylan classic "I Shall Be Released," which he transforms into a soulful reggae ballad. The album also features a cover of the classic soul track "Let's Get It On," which Charmers infuses with his own unique reggae sound.
