Anchored by the old Studio One-era “Heavenless” cut and stretched across decades of Jamaican voices, this Various Labels collection keeps one of reggae’s most enduring rhythms moving from roots to dancehall without losing its spine. The cast is deep, but the shape of it is what makes sense of the whole thing: Al Campbell opens with “Wicked Bwoy Medley, ” Anthony Johnson eases in with “Feel Like Dancing, ” and Anthony B takes three turns that lean on social commentary as much as songcraft. There’s also a nice nod to the heavier end of the canon through Augustus Pablo’s “Don ’d’ Special, ” while Baby Cham’s “Dovecot” pushes the riddim into a later dancehall frame. The strongest pull, though, is Anthony B’s “Life Worth More Than Money, ” which lands with the kind of urgency that keeps this riddim relevant far beyond its 1968 roots.
