HAITI: Judgement Coming on The Land?

JUDGEMENT COMING ON THE LAND by Misty In Roots from The John Peel Sessions (1979-1986) is perhaps my favourite John Peel moment.

MISTY IN ROOTS’ status in the canon of British Reggae is unparalleled; not just because of the band’s longevity (still going strong) but also because they have stuck to their original brief of playing spiritual, rootsy, African fusion reggae, and preaching a message of unity, one love and understanding as relevant today as in the glorious heyday of ‘Rock Against Racism’ in the late 1970s.
