| | Pat Kelly : Butterflies - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | As this collection of rocksteady tracks recorded between 1967 and 1982 shows, though, Kelly was perfectly capable of writing his own material, and his original song "No Love at All" (included here) is as yearning and majestic as anything he ever tracked. |
 | | Unlike Campbell, Kelly never attempted to do heavier militant material when the Jamaican musical climate changed to more rasta-oriented themes, and his critical reputation has probably suffered some because of it, but his clear, falsetto vocals and his devotion to classic love songs give his album collections an endearing sweetness. |
 | | Trojan's similar anthology, Soulful Love, has a more complete feel than this one, but Butterflies shares several of the same tracks, and does an effective job of hitting the high points. |
