Ossie Dellimore & The Soldiers Of Justice's Album called "Freedon's Journal", transports the mind, body and Spirit. Immersing it in the smooth tones of the Reggae Beat. His extraordinary Vocals mixed with the sounds of this magnificent band's instrumentation become part of your heartbeat and blood stream. From the first track he captures your attention. Ossie manages to raise your concisiouness of the plight of the people. He invades your body with the need to move to the smooth sounds of each track. No small feat.
Ossie Dellimore and The Soldiers Of Justice, becoming one ... together taking us on a journey we will be talking about for years to come. This spectacular Album will win the hearts of New listeners to Reggae as well as us long time fans. Who says we can't have it all? Ossie Dellimore delivers it in spades.
The Three tracks that touched me personally were:
Time Has Come - A song about the time of truth being now. This is the Solomon Generation! A time of reform and change is upon us now. This generation has the opportunity to make much needed changes. This is time of truth, let it Rain down on us. The smooth Reggae beat is also influenced not only by the wonderful Vocals of Ossie Delimore , but of piano and electric Guitar & Bass. This is an exceptional example of the tradional style of Reggae mixed with this modern world we live in. Outstanding. Smooth!
Got To Be Free - Fantastic upbeat track featuring Drums , trumpet, electric guitar, bass.. man this is beautiful!! Ossie Dellimore's spectacular vocals move seamlessly through this track. Backup vocal blends are superb. A song with a message of freedom. Ossie Dellimore in true reggae style, has you grooving along throughout. Amazing keyboard breaks in about halfway through surprizing the ear. Love this track!!
Rocker Reggae - This track brings up the tempo with this rousing song! Ossie Dellimore nails it with strong vocals and professional style. This man has an amazing ability to capture the listener and hold them till the last note. The Soldiers Of Justice show us just what they can do breaking out in an instrumental section midway through the track. Again , the meeting of two worlds. Traditional Reggae blended with a modern rock influence.
In all, Ossie Dellimore and The Soldiers of Justice have done an outstanding job on this Album. I would highly recommend a good listen. I doubt very highly you will be sitting still long. You will even learn a little while you groove. Great work on this Album Ossie!!!
