    Island Records is the label behind this reggae track base, bringing together a collection of roots-inspired rhythms and smooth melodies. This foundation has become a favorite choice for today’s reggae artists, known for its relaxed yet powerful energy. Among the standout contributors is Aswad, famous for their song "Roots Rockin'." Aswad has played a key role in the UK reggae scene, blending classic roots with a modern touch. Barry Biggs adds his soulful voice with "Wide Awake In A Dream," a song that reached the UK Top 40 in the late 1970s and remains a favorite among lovers rock fans. Dean Fraser, a respected saxophonist, brings "Rent A Car" to the mix. His career includes collaborations with top reggae acts and he is known for his work on countless reggae albums. Dennis Brown, often called the "Crown Prince of Reggae," shares his smooth vocals on "Have You Ever Been In Love." Brown’s influence in reggae is huge, with classic albums like "Love Has Found Its Way." Jimmy Riley’s "Love And Devotion" adds another layer of heartfelt emotion. The foundation of these tracks is built on strong vocal harmonies and roots rhythms, making the collection a timeless choice.
