Icho Candy — the enigmatic, one-of-a-kind reggae singer who first made his name under legendary producer Jack Ruby and went on to sing for the likes of Augustus Pablo, Prince Jazzbo and Jah Shaka through the golden age of 1980s reggae — returns with his first new work in roughly 31 years, likely since 1994! A brand-new album!! And it's the landmark debut release from Poor Man's Friend, the buzzed-about new independent label out of Bristol, UK, devoted to roots reggae music!!

A superb masterpiece that conveys the deep allure of classic Jamaican musical roots, Rastafarianism, Nyabinghi and spirituality as exotic good music.
For this album he joins forces with his closest, longest-standing musical companions: comrade Prince Alla appears on the title track, track 6 "Pressure Them," and delivers solo performances on track 2 "Jah Love" (sample2) and track 7 "Way Over There," while the legendary The Viceroys collaborate on track 4 "Pave the Way" and track 9 "King of Kings." Nine tracks celebrating the return of Icho Candy. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
