When D.L. asked me to start contributing to this site, I think both of us expected I would write about music more often. In fact, I haven't posted anything about music at all. Part of the reason, I suppose, is that if I write a review, I want it to be cohesive, coherent, and contain an opinion worth reading. That takes time and energy I haven't had much of. Well, regardless...I feel compelled to share a few words about this album. Though I've been a reggae listener for a long time, there are still many artists I'm trying to become more familiar with. This is especially true for the rocksteady style (the more uptempo, romantic, smoother precursor to the roots reggae of the 1970s). I knew little more about Alton Ellis than his name, but after recently downloading and enjoying a couple songs of his, I bought Sunday Coming on a whim. Wow. All these incredible songs floating around out there which I had never heard. The music is terrific - tight, funky, fluid. But it's the vocals which really put this one over the top for me. It's got the soaring falsettos, beautiful harmonies, and interesting chord changes reminiscent of the best Chicago soul music. I'm only 35 years late, but I definitely recommend this for any reggae or soul fans.
