Trodn To Zion Riddim – Charm Records

Trodn To Zion Riddim carries that early-2000s roots-reggae warmth Charm Records was putting out in 2002, with a deep, conscious lineup that keeps the mood uplifted and meditative rather than flashy. George Nooks’ “Zion Gate” and Luciano’s “Come Away” are the kind of cuts that lock straight into the riddim’s spiritual direction, while Junior Kelly’s “You Can Make It” adds a tougher, motivational edge. Half Pint’s “Suzie” and Glen Washington’s “Wanna Take You Home” give it a more melodic, easy-swaying feel, and the full set also pulls in Devonte, Warrior King, and Patchy for a strong cross-section of voices. With 14 tracks in all, it sits neatly among the steady crop of 2002 roots compilations, the sort of set that sounds locked to its era without feeling dusty.
