Waiting For The Sun Jamaican Steel is an album that captures the essence of Caribbean music through the masterful performances of Rob Salmon and Jordan Reyne. The album is a fusion of reggae, steel drums, and folk, creating a unique sound that is both refreshing and soothing.
The album's opening track "Waiting For The Sun" sets the tone for the rest of the album, with its upbeat rhythm and catchy melody. Salmon's use of the steel drums as the lead instrument is impressive and gives the song a distinct island feel.
Tracks like "Jamaican Steel" and "Summer Breeze" showcase Reyne's vocal range, which is soulful and emotive. The lyrics are simple yet meaningful, and the combination of Reyne's voice and Salmon's steel drum playing creates a beautiful harmony.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Island Life," which features a spoken-word verse by Salmon. The track is a tribute to the laid-back lifestyle of the Caribbean, and Salmon's spoken-word verse adds a poetic touch to the song.
