RAS Records presents a new series of midprice CD's called "RAS Portraits..." This Sugar Minott compilation collects tracks from the following three albums: "Sugar and spice", "Breaking free" and "International", with the addition of a track taken from the sampler "Best of the best vol. 2". Sugar Minott, the granddaddy of all dancehall singers - even dancehall daddys like Barrington Levy came much later - is one of Jamaica's most respected singers, due to his consistency of delivery. He's a conscious roots reggae singer whose hits span raggamuffin, lovers and broader themes. As always it's Sugar's voice - controlled, captivating and uncontrived - that is the feature instrument on this excellent set, which is a tasty mix of "old style" and new.
