   REVIEW: Jim Fidler -- Revolution Time   
   09 Sep 09 01:49:54   
   
   XPost: alt.music.ska, alt.music.independent   
   From: dalton@nfld.com   
      
   I got Jim Fidler's new reggae CD Revolution Time a little over a   
   week ago and now, after having listened to it three times, I can   
   say that I recommend it to everyone as one of the best reggae   
   CDs I have ever heard.   
      
   The  CD is full of brilliant original songs with a message plus only   
   two covers:  Lively Up Yourself by Bob Marley and War Party   
   by Eddy Grant.   
      
   The track list is:   
      
    1. Intro (Time a Come) 00:19   
    2. Ringbang Revolution 04:24   
    3. Info War 04:14   
    4. Lively Up Yourself 05:56   
    5. New World Revolution 04:33   
    6: Mash it Up  06:24   
    7. Mash it Dub 02:09   
    8. Reality Time Intro (Wake Up the Sheeple) 00:22   
    9. Reality Time 06:09   
   10. War Party 04:27   
   11. Busy (Too Busy) 05:31   
   12. Busy Extra (Take Your Time) 00:18   
   13. Cherokee Chant Intro (Cherokee Morning Song) 00:33   
   14. Cherokee Chant 05:35   
   15. Revolution Time 03:30   
      
   Total playing time is 54:21.   
      
   In his early days Jim was in the reggae band Pressure Drop.   
   Since then he was involved more in folk, but this CD marks   
   a return to his reggae roots.   And he does a great job; this   
   CD has lots of good songwriting, with a strong message   
   calling on listeners to bring about positive social change   
   using words, not weapons, plus is danceable.   
      
   Some song samples are on http://www.jimfidler.com and   
   you can also order the CD through that web site.   It   
   should soon be available on amazon and iTunes.   
   Locally it is available at Fred's.   
      
   The CD is dedicated to Jim's father James Marley Fidler.   
   Jim is also Christina Aguilera's first cousin; Jim's father   
   is the brother of Christina's mother.
