"Delroy Wilson possessed a rich, smooth voice that gave his rocksteady
sound a distinctive and quite satisfying flavor. He worked with some of
the biggest producers in Jamaica like Coxsone Dodd, Bunny Lee, Joe
Gibbs, and Keith Hudson during his long and fruitful run as an
underrated hitmaker. Rocksteady Massive gathers up songs from various
stages of his career. It hits the mid-'60s when he was working with Dodd
and churning out hits like his percolating cover of the Tam's "I'm in a
Dancing Mood," "Riding for a Fall," "Rain From the Skies," and "Here
Come the Heartaches." It also runs through the '70s (his rootsy classic
"Better Must Come" from 1971, "Cool Operator") and what sounds like the
'80s ("It's Impossible"). It is hard to be sure because Burning Bush
provides the usual dearth of discographical information, and unless you
are a Wilson fanatic, you mostly have to guess at the song's vintage.
Despite this perhaps overly geeky gripe, the music is first-rate
rocksteady and roots rock, and this disc would be a positive addition to
a reggae lover's collection." Tim Sendra
