The Beat
(volume 24, no. 1 2005)
Scholarsword comes in a fast-paced high energy dancehall vocal style with a traditional keyboard, bass, drum & guitar lineup on tribal Roots (Humble Ark). Recorded at Humble Ark studio in Virginia, the sound blends the pumped-up excitement of the dance with roots themes on cuts like "Rasta Inna Spin", "Lord Is My Shepherd" and Gideon Boots", and the more celebratory "Party" and "Funky Reggae". ,... The whole thing goes down well with standout cuts like "Can't Hold Me Down"
and "Callin".
