    Press Reviews
    CD review in BRAVO Newspaper by Eric Sutter Reggae Vision: "Small Island Rasta" Local Reggae musician's new CD, "Small Island Rasta" with its subtle rockin' reggae rhythms, is a welcome respite from a lot of the frenetic sounds of the new millennium. These Caribbean rhythms have a way of making you conscious of the important things in life. The opening track, "Come Down," with its powerful lyrics, reminds us that we are not a "Small Island Rasta" as much as we are a global village that just may be moved by this tiny island with the rhythm called Reggae. Such simple rhythms, which evoke such awareness of spirit are good for the soul. "U Never Listen to Mama" has a gentle beat and, along with "Time Will Heal," offers spiritual solutions to life in its lyrics. "Ice Cream and Jello," with its whimsical child-like lyrics, is pure fun. "Eyes of a Child" gives a child's-eye-view of the world, beckoning us all back to simplicity and innocence. "All Around the World" is a Rasta plea for love and harmony with a good natural island vibe for everyday people. "Down in de Islands" takes one away with a peaceful image of a beautiful heaven on earth. The track is full of vivid visual imagery that can transport the listener to another place. It can also get your feet moving, as does the final cut "Dancing Mood." Livingstone F. Richardson played with another local reggae musician, Mentos and New Horizons, before he started Reggae Vision. "Gillie," as friends call him, plays live every Friday and Saturday night at the Red Parrot Cafe on Riverdale Road in West Springfield. He really can put you in a "Dancing Mood."
