John Brown's Body has gotten tons of props for its approach to reggae. The Boston/Ithaca, NY-based band fuses socially conscious lyrics with a vintage roots sound epitomized in the use of B3 organ, a horn section, great harmony vocals and a general warm analog production sound that recalls reggae's 1970s heyday. The eight-piece band's first album for the great Easy Star label sticks with that sound and those looking for something more rootsy love "We Gonna Do?" or the chugging "Resonate."
