 The Music Box: Toots and the Maytals - True Love (Album Review)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Even more intriguing is that throughout True Love, Hibbert is surrounded by a myriad of guest performers, all of whom have been touched by his music; it’s an impressive list that includes everyone from Jeff Beck to Shaggy, from Bootsy Collins and The Roots to Rachael Yamagata, and from Bonnie Raitt to Trey Anastasio.
Yet, with all this star-power present, the collection takes on the aura of a tribute album — albeit one which was crafted within the presence of its subject — rather than a magnificent, new introduction to a legend.
The end result is that although True Love will expose the group’s music to a much wider audience, it’s not the type of compelling collection necessary to convert incontestably a new generation of fans.
