Amoeba Music

The Mighty Rootsmen is an exciting supergroup of reggae legends Toots Hibbert, Gregory Isaacs, Luciano, Mykal Rose, and Sly & Robbie. Their self-titled debut album was recorded in 2009, but is finally getting the release it deserves. The Mighty Rootsmen present vibrant reggae versions of rock classics by artists like Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, The Eagles, and The Steve Miller Band. Kicking off with a joyful take on Petty's "I Won't Back Down," this is a feel-good album with depth and soul. Other highlights include a heartfelt version of "Peace Train" (Cat Stevens) and a lively "Love The One You're With" (Stephen Stills). It's the perfect soundtrack for the summer.
