Black Irish

Sinead O'Connor has released a reggae album, produced by Sly & Robbie. I've only heard one track so far - a cover of Burning Spear's classic "Marcus Garvey" (aka "The Ghost") - one of my all-time favorite songs ever by the way. It's pretty damn good. The production is a little slick for my liking, and her voice even sounds studio-tweaked in parts, but the pure essence of the original song itself is fully intact. If Joe Strummer can do "Redemption Song" and not fuck it up, than surely Sinead O'Connor deserves the benefit of the doubt.
