USA Based Original REGGAE

Has REGGAE music evolved? Has it become more of a unique expression of a person's individual musical influences or has the individual tried to copy a style that another creative innovator has created?

What's happening with spirit music these days, music that moves your soul?

I have been wondering what people think about the present "quality" of music and music performance these days? To me it seems like the same "crap" over and over again. What do you think?

Freedom Beyond Recognition New CD

Tony Brown has released his new CD FREEDOM BEYOND RECOGNITION My Brothers and Sisters I hope this letter finds all well with you. My name is Tony Brown and I am writing you to deliver my new CD “FREEDOM BEYOND RECOGNITION.” I began this project in 2007 in the United States and over the next two years, I bounced back and forth from Belize and the United States performing and finishing the project. The new CD Freedom Beyond Recognition was completed in August 2009.

The songs on this CD come from my soul. These sounds are the stories of my life and experiences and observation that I think a lot of people share but don’t communicate in a way that brings resolution to the issues express in some of these lyrics. That’s why this CD exist to bring the image to the front of our minds and start the process of understanding the oneness of our world and our issues within this world.

I hope you enjoy this music and I hope you will share this with your readers and listeners on your radio program. I send respect and best wishes to you and I hope we will have the occasion to meet in person somewhere down the road. Blessings
