Another great reggae album
I bought this along with "Two Sevens Clash", also by Culture. I think I like this one better. All of the tracks are good, but stand-outs for me are "They Never Love in This Time" and "Natty Dread Naw Run". Man, those songs just slay me. Excellent melodies abound on this record and the rhythm section is as solid as anything I've heard in reggae. The bass line on "This Train" doesn't do a whole lot, but it takes a master to make it sound like that.Highly recommended.

A Great Production
One of the best albums made by 'Culture' even better than the well rated 'Two Sevens Clash' Album. a must have for any bonafide culture/reggae fan/listener! All the tracks are excellent and I am hard pressed to name my favorites, but without taking anything away from the other tracks, the stand outs for me are the title track, 'Cumbolo', others include, 'Natty Dread Nah Run', 'Natty Never Get Weary'. Very highly recommended album! You won't be disappointed!!!!

Culture - Cumbolo
B000000DXPCulture - Cumbolo.This has to be the best roots rock album done by Culture to date; this is Culture at their very best. Every track once listened to makes you want to go back and listen to them a second time round, the effects of the deep base line, the heavenly sounds of the horn section and the lyrics brings about a verbal expression that will have you truly hooked!

Rasta Culture ! ! !
Culture mené par le grand Joseph Hill avait frappé encore un grand coup à la parution de cet album en 1979. Toujours immergé dans la culture rasta, le trio vocal était très inspiré à en juger par ces morceaux de Roots Reggae à la rythmique implacable. Ce n'est pas Joe Gibbs qui est aux manettes comme pour les deux premiers disques du trio ("Two Sevens Clash" et "Baldhead Bridge"), mais la production reste soignée. La crème des musiciens jamaïcains accompagne Joseph Hill et ses comparses, à noter en particulier l'impeccable section des cuivres avec Cedric "Im" Brooks au saxophone ténor. Cet album a gardé une grande fraîcheur et les morceaux sont indémodables. Il est clair qu'un groupe comme Culture manque beaucoup au Reggae d'aujourd'hui. Au dos de la très belle pochette, il y a une photo où l'on voit Culture avec des amis qui ne sont autres que les membres des Abyssinians, autre grand trio vocal de l'époque.Si il faut mettre quelques morceaux en avant, on peut signaler "Innocent Blood", le très beau "Cumbolo", "Down In Jamaica" et "Mind Who You Beg For Help". Cumbolo est un album essentiel que tout fan de Reggae se doit de posséder.
