Following a series of early single releases for various Jamaican engineers, singer Dennis Brown entered a particularly prolific partnership with producer Joe Gibbs. The two worked together from the mid-'70s to the early '80s. "Visions" (1977) presents Brown as a roots-based singer with major crossover potential. The smooth, reassuring quality of his voice and his comfortable range would seem to make him the obvious choice for an American label seeking an international success story. Brown's subject matter spans the spectrum of Rasta concerns, detailing economic suffering, African oppression, deep religious conviction, and a strong political consciousness. The potency of such themes is tempered only by the inevitable lovers rock of 'Love Me Always' and a take on Ray Charles' 'This Little Girl of Mine.' Throughout, Brown delivers pleas to his people to follow the virtuous path. It's a sentiment that becomes particularly poignant with 'Stay at Home,' the tale of a young runaway. Carrying the musical weight is a typically seasoned set of session players including appearances by the dream horn team of Bobby Ellis (trumpet), Vin Gordon (trombone), Herman Marquis, and Tommy McCook (saxophones). Though the musicians rarely extend themselves (preferring to stay respectably anonymous), their effortless flexibility is well suited to Brown's polished delivery. They soak songs like 'Oh Mother' and 'Malcolm X' in the sadness of the blues and provide the lighter material with the appropriate lift. Two years down the road, Brown would score a hit with 'Money in My Pocket.' At the start of the 1980s, the singer's albums would find U.S. release through A&M. Like many of Jamaica's most promising stars, however, the singer's music was largely mishandled, suffering from poor promotion. "Visions", however, finds him in his prime and on the verge of the international success he deserved.

Culling tracks from three of the Dennis Brown albums released by the RAS label -- Brown Sugar, Victory Is Mine, and Milk and Honey, as well as Blood Brothers, the singer's split-set with Gregory Isaacs, RAS Portraits is a showcase of Brown's work in the post-roots age. Besides offering up a steady stream of new songs, over the years the singer has consistently returned to his earlier hits, sympathetically re-recording them for new generations to admire. These include "Milk and Honey" itself and "Should I," both of which Brown originally cut for the Mighty Two during the roots era, but which he revived in the '90s. The Brown Sugar album, in contrast, dates from the mid- 80s, and was itself a compilation, rounding up a clutch of Brown's hits for the Taxi label. As dated as these tracks are now, their strength and beauty still shine forth, a reminder of just how innovative the dancehall style really was in its early days. Styles shifted quickly, as is evident by the dramatic drum programming that underlies the Leggo Beast-produced Victory Is Mine album, its ragga sound in counterpoint to its dense live instrumentation. Flabba Holt programmed some of those drum patterns, as well as providing bass for that set, but for the Milk and Honey album, he joined Brown in the production seat, while his band, the Roots Radics, laid down the sizzling backings, as they did for the Holt-produced Blood Brothers album. The extraordinarily prolific Brown released a number of weak sets during this same time period, but these excellent sets certainly weren't among them, and this compilation provides the perfect introduction to some of the best of the singer's later work. ~ Jo-Ann Greene
