Review by Admin

Im Trying by Alton Ellis is a soulful and introspective album that showcases the legendary Jamaican singer's talent and versatility. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers of classic songs, all delivered with Ellis's trademark smooth vocals and emotive phrasing.

From the opening track, "Im Trying", which sets the tone for the album with its heartfelt lyrics and soulful melody, to the closing number, "You Make Me So Very Happy", which showcases Ellis's ability to infuse a classic pop song with his own unique style, every song on the album is a standout in its own right.

Other highlights include Ellis's take on the Marvin Gaye classic "What's Going On", which he transforms into a roots reggae anthem, and the hauntingly beautiful "Willow Tree", which features Ellis's haunting falsetto and some of the album's most poignant lyrics.

Im Trying is a must-have for any fan of Alton Ellis or classic reggae music. It's a timeless album that speaks to the soul and showcases the enduring talent of one of Jamaica's greatest singers.
