U-Roy – Dreadlocks Dread
U-Roy – The Great Psalms

1. Runaway Girl
2. Chalice In The Palace
3. I Can't Love Another
4. Dreadlocks Dread
5. The Great Psalms
6. Natty Don't Fear
7. African Message
8. Siver Bird
9. Listen To The Teacher
10. Trench Town Rock

On Dread In A Babylon, his third full-length, he stretches out over traditional roots grooves provided by the Soul Syndicate and Skin, Flesh & Bones bands, riffing on topics including love (“Runaway Girl,” a 1975 single released in the UK on Virgin Records); the Bible (“The Great Psalms”); walking the straight and narrow (“Listen To The Teacher”); and even his take on governmental policy goals (“Chalice In The Palace”). The album finishes with an instrumental version of Bob Marley & The Wailers’ “Trench Town Rock,” for good measure.
U-Roy’s style and charisma are always on display, and – as with all of his classic records – the groove rules all.
