Johnny Nash
was the first American singer to incorporate
reggae
rhythms, and as such deserves a lot of credit for paving the way for the acceptance of bona fide Jamaican performers. His own
pop
-
soul
concoctions, though, were often rather watery in comparison to the real thing.
Reggae Collection
brings together 20 of the
-style tracks he cut between 1968 and the mid-'70s, including his hits
"Hold Me Tight,"
"Cupid,"
and
"Stir It Up"
; the version of
"I Can See Clearly Now"
is an alternate take. This leans too heavily on his 1972-1975
Epic
material without enough of his late-'60s work; the small hit
"You Got Soul"
is missing, and the delightfully light and soaring
"Hold Me Tight"
towers over most everything else here. Almost half the tracks were previously unreleased or previously unavailable in the U.S. ~ Richie Unterberger
