ALBUM DESCRIPTION

Judy Mowatt has been called Jamaica's Queen of Soul. Since her conversion from Rastafarianism to Christianity back in 1995, she has also earned the title of "Jamaica's First Lady of Worship." You may be familiar with her "Something Old, Something New" album, and her "Soldiers of Jesus Christ" project, but years before she recorded these CDs, Judy tracked her infamous "Love" CD. This is was her gospel debut, the first album that she tracked after coming to Christ. After years of trying to attain this album through various avenues we finally managed to get our hands on a few copies.

This album is full uplifting songs of inspiration. On "Love" you will find sweet contemporary roots cuts like the contagious "Show Love", the heartfelt "Gardener" and the classic "Thank You Lord" (originally made popular by the Wailers). This album is chock full of covers such as the Judy's rocksteady take on The Byrds' "Turn, Turn, Turn" and her niyabinghi interpretation of the gospel classic "Oh Happy Day".

Judy even delves into some urban beats with a hip-hop take on the classic Spinners song "Ooh Child" and the dancehallesque "Ordinary Servant" (initially made famous by Regina Wingate). Judy brought in a heavy hitter for "I Want to Thank You", featuring the one and only Papa San. No album by First Lady of Worship would be complete without songs of Caribbean praise and worship such as "Standing in the Gap" and "Lamb of God."

Let's face it; Judy Mowatt is a living legend. She is one of Bob Marley's original backup singers (the I-Threes), was the first woman ever to be nominated for a Reggae Grammy Award--And those are just two highlights of a long and successful career. But this is just the beginning for Judy, now that she has a reason to sing there is a newfound passion and purpose in every single vocal. And Judy's silky voice seems to have gotten better with age. Her anointed and heartfelt vocals soothe the ears and comfort the soul. The "Love" CD is Judy's gospel debut, an album that cannot be overlooked. With 10 quality tracks and 4 bonus cuts it is a great project that is sure to bless your soul. Order your copy today!
