INNA RED I HOUR (I Grade Records, 2003) $14.00 (incl. shipping for US orders) Inna Red I Hour is the powerful debut album by Abja. Inna Red I Hour presents Abja’s insightful and poetic songwriting through his mystical, wailing vocal delivery – somewhat reminiscent of Steel Pulse’s David Hines, yet retaining his own cadence and style. Vocally and lyrically, the album is a diverse collection with songs ranging from the blazing rockers anthem, "War", to the heavyweight roots/hip hop blend "Lion Walk" to the acoustic ballad, "Still Have Love." The album’s many moods will appeal to a range of listeners, but fans of true roots rebel music will be more than satisfied with every cut on the 14 track album. |
