I like Reggae Music. A lot. I like many other types of music and I'll admit that not all reggae is good or great. But (IMHO) it is probably the most underappreciated/underated genres of music.
Pyrrho might say that I've got a bias for reggae.
But anyways you probably won't believe me, but Sinead O'Connor has a new CD out and all the tracks are covers. Mostly Burning Spear songs. My roomate just had to get the album because he loves Burning Spear. I figured it would at least be a nice collector's item. But back to my point. Sinead's cover of Buju Banton's "Untold Stories" is my favorite track. Now I'm not sure if I like Buju's version better, or not. She does a very good job.
I'm not sure the origin of the lyrics, but I'm fairly sure that Buju Banton wrote them. If I find out conclusively I'll update.
