Don Carlos' third solo album for Ras Records finds the smooth singer singing as coolly as his long, well-maintained dreadlocks look. The title track lopes along to an easygoing reggae beat that appears to repeat itself on "Johnny Cool." Version accompanies him on three compelling songs: "Ruff We Ruff," "Jah, Jah Hear Me Plea," and "Prophecy." Deadly Headly and Bobby Ellis' horns -- which would be at home on a traditional Mexican recording session -- color the rather predictable grooves. If you listen to "Satan Control Them" without the lyrics, you're unsure whether Carlos is describing some nefarious people or hoping a mojo befalls some malcontents. "Crazy Girl" is so enchanting you'll want a picture of the object of Carlos' affection. The dreamy "Just a Passing Glance" contrasts the sociopolitical "Frontline." "Black Station, White Station" speaks on the subject of segregated radio formats, making it unique and a must-hear. Passionate when he needs to be, Carlos doesn't bludgeon you to make a point; he maintains a pleasant demeanor throughout, even when the subject matter is anything but. ~ Andrew Hamilton, Rovi
