By 2001, Kickin Production had this one moving in a clean roots direction, with Norman Bryan’s production pairing a sturdy, unfussy groove to a strong singer lineup. Capleton’s “Love Mama” brings the fire, while Glen Washington and George Nooks turn “Can I Get A Witness” into the kind of harmony cut that hangs back in the pocket; Jah Mali’s “Come Again” and Junior Kelly’s “Cool Nuh” keep the message conscious and plainspoken. The set also folds in Morgan Heritage alongside L. M. S. on “Love Reggae Music, ” which helps give the riddim a little extra lift without breaking its frame. It’s a nine-track juggling that stays close to the traditional reggae feel, with the bass carrying most of the weight and the rhythm guitar and drum pattern keeping everything laid out in a steady, mid-tempo roll.
