"One of reggae's greatest singers has resurfaced," says Chuck Foster in The Beat. "The early master... returns to recording as if 30 years
have not gone by and reminds us what a great voice, writer and talent he is... I give thanks for the spirit in which this work
was recorded, Jonah's loving treatment of Linton and the sound of Linton's voice, still amazing after all these years."
Roots reggae founder Claudius
"Kingman" Linton returns with
his first album of new recordings in over 20 years,
hot on the heels of the acclaimed reissue of his
1970's hits, "Roots Master, Vol. 1."
A chance meeting on a Negril beach began Linton's incredible collaboration with US
indie-rock producer Ian "Jonah"
Jones: New songs with the irresistible
melodies and killer riddims found on Linton's
classic 1970s cuts - with a "conscious"
message for today's troubled times. Thirteen
new tracks in a deluxe gatefold digipack, and
a 10-minute video documentary.
Recorded in 2007 at Tuff Gong
Studios and elsewhere in Jamaica and the US, Kingman
& Jonah's "Sign Time" with an all-star band.
"THE REGGAE ALBUM OF
2008. This is the unearthed Holy
Grail of reggae music. Claudius Linton
is one of the great voices of reggae ...
and the songs are Reggae Gold." - DJ Greedy
G
"No rust on Linton's game."
- Reggae Reviews.com
"If Claudius Linton's
'Roots Master' is anything to go by,
Kingman & Jonah's 'Sign Time'
should be the album of the year.
That a major talent like Claudius has been on
the sidelines this long is beyond belief."
