Taj Weekes & Adowa push the boundaries of reggae once again with their third release, A Waterlogged Soul Kitchen, whose title pays homage to the survivors of Hurricane Katrina. Already urging the genre to new heights, the album delivers sturdy roots rhythms laced with acoustic strings, bluesy harmonica accents and a deep sax groove. The fresh, hard-edged lyrics reveal an innate sophistication that yields to the intimacy of poetry, producing songs that don’t just reflect a conscience, but resonate with passion and vigor.
