"Ben Hunter knows that Jamaican ska and reggae owe a boatload of thanks to New Orleans for the inspiration its music has had for the island going all the way back to the 1940s. Ben's skillful blending of guitar-rich Rockers riddims and soulful Big Easy vibes hits the sweet spot every time, whether on originals like the propulsive Soul Avenger or innovative versions of Donovan's Sunshine Superman and Neil Young's Heart of Gold. This is the real thing, revivified for the new century by a veteran entertainer of the first rank."
-Roger Steffens, Reggae archivist and author of "So Much Things to Say: The Oral History of Bob Marley
