Album Reviews
"I saw Inner
Visions live on St. John Virgin Island and they are amazing! Its rare to find a
quality Roots Reggae Band these days when all I seem to hear is Dance Hall. I guarantee
after one listen you will be hooked and selling them to your friends

Round Pond, ME
Hottest Reggae Band Ive ever seen
in years! Inner Visions performed reggae like I have not heard in a long time! Their songs
are visionary and they sing from the heart! Spiritual Dancer and
Good loving just blew me away. If you have this CD, you simply must also get
their CD entitled Love One Another

Liner Notes
|
On the
Island of St. John, in the U.S. Virgin Islands something musical is happening in the little town
of Cruz Bay. At days' end we all gather and hang out at our local vegetable stand called
"Nature's Nook" and reflect on the day
Somehow the topic would always turn to music - a
"glue" of sorts that mends a myriad of broken pieces in our lives. Inner
Visions has always been that glue for us. They are our brothers, sons, fathers,
husbands, and friends. They are musical pioneers past and future. They sing of
undying positiveness. They sing the most profound lyrics, that lift us to a higher plane.
The songs: "Spiritual Dancer" is bar
none a brilliant tribute to Brother "Bob Marley", "Shala-la" reminds us why we
fall in love, "Whip Them" teaches us, "Good Loving" makes us "whine"
our bodies to it's rambunctious rhythm! Listen to the songs and store their messages in your
hearts and minds to keep with you always.
To "Grasshopper", "Ras Paul",
Jupiter", and their crew "Spikie and Kibo" - Love One Another because "Love Is
A Must". Together you will "Blow Down Babylon!!!" Love and Peace, Lorna
"Winkie" Nichols |

Jupiter Speaks:
"All thanks and praises to Elohim Yah Weh... [my god] for
allowing me to be a part of the musical experience." |
Ras Paul
Speaks:
"Why are we making and creating weapons of destruction that will
only cause human reduction?" |
Grasshopper
Speaks:
"Give me the strength my Father to sing these songs and give me
the wisdom to right my wrongs!"
For my special friend and others like her,
who like fruits have been bruised for life by an unconscious weak spirit. |
