About this album
In the ’70s, John Holt changed the reggae game, putting his silky-smooth pipes to work delivering island covers of well-known pop tunes. You might never have imagined the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Mr. Bojangles" with a rocksteady groove, but once Holt wraps that warm, vibrant voice of his around it, you could forget you've heard it any other way. Even a soft-rock staple like Lobo's "I'd Love You to Want Me" gains new life as a bouncy bit of sun-dappled reggae bliss.
