‘Rebirth’ is completely captivating. It’s not a re-release, it’s not an old man going through the motions - it’s the sound of a talented ball of energy going straight back to his roots, and to his culture, to produce yet more unstoppable work

Rebirth, as an album, is a perfect companion to Jamaica's independence. It reaches back to the era of ska, travels through the era of rockers and roots reggae, and demonstrates the power of the music today

The album was recorded in London during last year’s riots, lending greater poignancy to a tasty version of Guns Of Brixton, which does The Clash proud
