righteous reggae mon

Having just returned from my family's annual sojourn to the beach, I realized that I haven't purchased any reggae recently. I am a big fan of Lucky Dube, Bob Marley (Ziggy and his siblings as well), Toots, Burning Spear and others. I searched the "Gon archives and found a recommendation for "Rockamovya" which sounds tasty. Any recent new reggae artists of note?

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I will be chillin' and sippin' on hummingbirds poolside in no time. I have ordered a few and will post my impressions. I really miss Lucky Dube by the way. He had the voice of an angel. "Guns and Roses" from Taxman is such a fine song.

"Best of UB40" is one of my favorite CD's. The recording quality is excellent. And I agree on the Sinead O'Conner mentioned above which also has awesome fidelity.

Also not new, but Bunny Wailer, an original of the three Wailers, along with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, has made some great records. His first, "Blackheart Man," is a reggae classic.
