Reggae Classic: The Congoes

Congos, Heart of the Congos
(Blood and Fire)
It took awhile to get it back in print, but this now sounds to me like not only Lee Perry's most perfectly beautiful dub production but also like one of the five or ten best reggae albums, period. I'd been listening to reggae for 30 years and I'd never heard singing that sounds this ghostly, possessed, lyrical. And the songs are all killers. And Lee Perry is an insane genius.
