ERROL BLACKWOOD/SINGER SONGWRITER MUSICIAN

REWEWS

DUB MISSIVE INTERNATIONAL VOL X, N0.3 HAD THIS TO SAY.
Waking up the dream by Errol Blackwood hits dread on. The Jamaican born
Canadian based singer and Basest captures the essence of roots reggae with hungry tunes of love, redemption, judgment and hope. His sweet throaty vocals lend themselves to so many styles and he easily maneuvers from lover's rock to righteous anthems of roots. I'm the one is one of the strongest dance tracks. The gritty reality of one urban family is reason to weep on "Little Bit of Tear as Blackwood narrates a tale of despair: "Eventually you loose reality/killing then just becomes another spree/ and the children die/ how could we close our eyes. Free world bounce back with a hopeful kind of Bob Marley meets Talking Heads admonishment to the shitstem and its slick-talking purveyors of false freedom."Liberty Woman is a slow burner. Saving the best for last, the most outstanding is the nyabinghi-style
"Mandela" with bass drums laying the heart beat foundation. Blackwood hails the great freedom fighters. His raspy voice calling with emotion as he begs us to heed the message and carry on the dream

The Kitchener Record Newspaper (SHOWCASE) - had this to say:
Errol has a voice full of richness and is a masterful bass player. Errol sings of struggle, love and life, all with the same positive feeling.
Not only does he write excellent songs, but he has also masterminded video renditions of his material. A performance by Errol and his band Injah transcends mere playing, taking you on an appealing versatile and spiritual trip through the heartbeat of reggae
