“Pass The Pipe” by Toots and The Maytals - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1979 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1970s |

With “Monkey Man” getting a 2-Tone makeover in '79, the timing for a new Toots & The Maytals record was good, but it seemed to pass by largely un-noticed. The record is up to standards, solid as a long player without offering blinding strength-in-depth. The best three are served up at the start; the cost of the living is getting so high on “Famine” which puts me in mind of “Starvation”, “Inside, Outside” is an invite to play his songs morning, noon and night, whilst “Feel Free” puts me in mind of “The Harder They Come”. Soulful reggae.
