to wear dreadlocks to observe the tenants of the Rastafarian faith).

"It's not everyone with dreads who embraces the faith of Rastafari ... and its not every Rastafari that have dreadlocks," lead singer, Peetah, explained.

The exquisite "Down By The River", taken from Heritage's fourth album, "More Teachings", released by VP in 2001, is an anthem of renewed spiritually sung over producer Dean Fraser's flawless re-make of the 1965 "What Kind of World" rhythm, popularized in a hit by The Cables. The group's self-produced "Meskal Square" - so named for the main square in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: the birthplace of Christianity and the spiritual home of Rastafari - conveys the central importance of Ethiopian Emperor and Rastafarian Savior His Imperial Majesty Haile Salassie; as well as Christianity in their lives. "Jah Seed", also produced by Morgan Heritage, is a sensitively sung allegiance to "the light and leader of all things, the glorious king"... Jah Rastafari.

The Morgan's returned to Bobby Digital, with whom they have created some of their most outstanding tracks, for their 2003 VP Records release, "Three in One". The romantic, "She's Still Loving Me" has an irresistible country n' western flavor that seamlessly dovetails with the band's roots reggae sensibilities while the contrast between Peetah's tenor and Gamp's soulful baritone make this one of the group's most requested tunes. "A Man is Still a Man" is characterized by gentle harmonies, a rocking bass heavy rhythm and a timeless message that is expressed with renewed vigor.

Also from "Three In One" is the group's remix of their dance-reggae hit, "Jump Around": a tribute to reggae that evokes Bob Marley's 1979 disco hit, "Could You Be Loved"; as lamented with a 21st. Century punk edge. Layers of crunching guitars played by Benji Madden of the punk group, Good Charlotte, are punctuated by Mr. Mojo's vivaciously rapped verse which typifies  the multi-genre inspirations that color the Morgan's' brand of contemporary music. Among those influences is punk rock ... which they were heavily exposed to as one of the featured acts on the punk leaning Vans Warped Tour in 2002 and 2003.

Two of the biggest reggae hits of 2004/2005 were produced on enormously popular one-drop rhythms by Donovan "Don Corleon" Bennett, and included on Heritage's 2005 VP Records release "Full Circle". Peetah earned cheers from women everywhere as he rebuffed the advances of "Your best Friend" on the "Drop Leaf" rhythm; while "Tell Me How Come" on the "Seasons" rhythm forcefully decries the injustices that abound in Jamaica from the continual fight against Rastafari, to the discrepancy in education offered to rich and poor children, to preponderance of guns in ghetto areas although none are made there all of which is embodied in the song's affecting chant: "Life is so unfair / This is what we swear".
