Our Take

TOOTS AND THE MAYTALS' latest offering, "Got To Be Tough," is a delightful blend of reggae, soul, and good old-fashioned groove. As legendary frontman Toots Hibbert serenades us with his soulful vocals, the Maytals bring their A-game with tight instrumentals and infectious rhythms.

From the opening track, "Drop Off Head," it's clear that Toots and the gang mean business. With its funky bassline and catchy chorus, this song sets the tone for the rest of the album. "Just Brutal" is another standout track, with its powerful message of resilience and strength in the face of adversity.

But it's not all serious business on "Got To Be Tough." The Maytals also know how to let loose and have a good time. Tracks like "Freedom Train" and "Good Thing That You Call" are guaranteed to get you on your feet and grooving along.

Overall, "Got To Be Tough" is a solid addition to Toots and the Maytals' already impressive discography. With catchy hooks, powerful lyrics, and infectious energy, this album is sure to be a hit with both longtime fans and newcomers alike. So go ahead, turn up the volume, and let Toots and the gang take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.

About the artist

Toots and The Maytals

Toots and the Maytals are a legendary Jamaican reggae band that have been grooving and moving audiences for over five decades. Led by the enigmatic Frederick "Toots" Hibbert, the band burst onto the scene in the 1960s with their infectious blend of ska, rocksteady, and reggae. Toots' voice is like a fine wine, only getting better with age. His powerful vocals are soulful, gritty, and downright electrifying. When he belts out a tune, you can't help but move your body and sing along – even if you're tone deaf like me. Their music is a melting pot of influences, from gospel to R&B to funk. Each song is a masterclass in feel-good vibes, with catchy hooks and irresistible rhythms that will have you dancing like no one's watching (even if you're in the middle of a crowded tube carriage). Their impact on the music industry is undeniable. They were pioneers in popularising reggae music worldwide, inspiring countless artists along the way. Bob Marley himself once said that Toots was one of the greatest inspirations for his music – high praise indeed. But don't be fooled by their age – Toots and the Maytals can still bring the house down with their energetic live performances. Their shows are a testament to the power of music to unite people, transcend borders, and bring joy to even the most cynical of souls. So if you're looking for a dose of pure, unadulterated musical magic, look no further than Toots and the Maytals. They're a band that never fails to deliver the goods, leaving you with a smile on your face and a tune in your heart.
