Review

This group is asking listeners to suspend any disbelief in white American boys' ability to rock it hard, Jamaica style. It's also tempting to snicker at the assumed Jamaican accent and the liner notes' account of the band's beginnings in high school under the name Tribulation. Sufferation in suburbia? Can't match Trenchtown! Still, John Brown's Body well deserve a fair and impartial listen. Of the countless homegrown "Jafaiking" bands gigging all over the United States, this one is undoubtedly the most credible. The writing is strong, the chops tight, the production lush and crisp, and lead singer-cofounder Kevin Kinsella is blessed with honeyed, resonant pipes. So what if nothing's really new here--mostly borrowed, in fact. Nothing's really new these days in reggae anyway, and John Brown look better for the lack of competition and their obvious sincerity. At least this increasingly popular group is taking its lessons from reggae's finest, the prophets of the music's roots & culture '70s period. With reggae currently mired in the doldrums, uncertain of its direction--to party or to praise Jah?--John Brown know exactly where they stand--in the rosy glow of that good old reggae One Love. --Elena Oumano
