Review by Erin Ahlers

Voodoo by Roy Richards is a classic reggae album that has stood the test of time. Released in 1970, the album features ten tracks that showcase Richards' unique blend of traditional Jamaican music and American R&B.

From the opening track "Freedom Blues" to the closing track "Contact," Voodoo is a masterful showcase of Richards' talent. The album features a range of styles, from the upbeat and danceable "Green Collie" to the more introspective "Twentieth Century."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "West of East Street," a song that tells the story of a young man who leaves his rural hometown for the promise of the city, only to find disappointment and hardship. The song's message of the importance of staying true to one's roots and community resonates with listeners even today.

Summary by Erin Ahlers

Voodoo is a must-listen for any fan of reggae music. Richards' soulful vocals and masterful musicianship make this album a timeless classic that has influenced countless artists in the years since its release.
