lead drives "I'm Coming Home", produced by Robert Livingston for Big Yard Productions: one of several songs the group has written about the loneliness that accompanies life on the road ... that: being something they are quite familiar with as one of reggae's busiest touring acts.

From the group's tenth album, "Mission in Progress", released by VP in 2008, "Brooklyn and Jamaica"; produced by Shane Brown; draws gritty parallels between reggae's birthplace and the borough of kings: home to the largest population of Jamaicans away from the island home. "Nothing to Smile About", produced by Kemar "DJ Flava" McGregor, presents a heart wrenching look at the incongruity between the opulent resorts of tourist Jamaica versus the impoverished conditions endured by the majority of citizens; underscored by Peetah's poignant delivery. The sensual  "Love You Right", produced by Everton Hardware (better known as "Singing Melody") and Michael Steer demonstrates the group's romantic side: an aspect of their identity much appreciated by the numerous female fans.

Two previously unreleased Morgan Heritage tracks appear exclusively on THE JOURNEY THUS FAR; name: (a) "Here to Stay", produced by Kurt Riley: a one-
drop reggar love song that pledges a lifetime of devotion; despite the problems inherent to any

relationship; and (b) "Guards UP", produced by Frenchie - of the U.K's "Maximum Sound that offers a forceful commentary on increasing violence in Jamaica, and updates the traditional Flower Drum Song rhythm in a future realization of the group's "Rockaz" sound.

THE JOURNEY THUS FAR demonstrates Morgan Heritage's collective building process and their extraordinary evolution from a precociously talented teen aggregation into one of contemporary Reggae's most powerful sonic and lyrical forces. Throughout their profound journey, Morgan Heritage  has pioneered Jamaican music's popularity in such far flung locales as the Seychelles Islands in the Indian Ocean to the rural Northern U.S.; where many residents had never even heard the word reggae prior to their appearances there. They have made roots reggae relevant to a generation of fans who weren't yet born when Jamaican icons such as Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Dennis Brown were touring the world.
