The album captures The Maytals in all their guts and glory, with a strong soul influence. The song to listen to is the ''True Love Is Hard To Find'', and ''Reggae Got Soul'', both perennial and exceptional, basically, this is a group that was there from the start and still tour. Their 1968 track ''Do The Reggay'', was, in fact, the first acknowledged use of the term reggae, that would go on to describe the diaspora of Jamaican music throughout the world. ''Toots'' Hibbert, the lead singer, was actually seriously injured and concussed on stage after someone threw a vodka bottle at him at a festival in 2013, and he settled a 15 million pound lawsuit against the bottle thrower.
