Beyond the reggae star's best-known songs lies music rooted deeply in Jamaican culture. The frisky, funky "Ketchy Shuby" employs an island ball game as both sexual metaphor and life lesson. The piano-embellished "Igziabeher (Let Jah Be Praised)" offers serious-as-death praise of Rastafarianism's "Lord of the Universe." And "Vampire" is an impassioned, effects-embellished condemnation of exploitation.
