It might not be roots, but UB40 has mellow reggae pop down to a T. This hit-packed compilation includes one of Their early ska-based songs Food For Thought, plus all Their later successes. Most of their biggest hits were covers of older classics, But They always did a good job in the interpretation. Red Red Wine, For Example, is absolutely brilliant and the same can be Said for Kingston Town, Cherry Oh Baby, Can not Help Falling In Love and I Got You Babe with Chrissie Hynde on guest vocal. I also love the humorous advice In Mi Kitchen and Their excellent interpretation of The Doors' Light My Fire. Although not completely Call comprehensive, this compilation offers excellent value for money in That thesis tracks really were Their greatest hits from a 20-year career. There's not one filler track and every song is catchy and hummable. If you like your reggae melodic and mellow, this album is a must.
