Matisyahu

While I admit that I've been late a time or two when it comes to discovering good music (my most famous example is Coldplay), I've been caught tardy once again. I recently checked out of the library the Jewish sensation Matisyahu and his most recent release (two years old now) titled Youth. Even though I've heard some of his music before and have noted the acclaim he's received, I've never delved any deeper than that. Well, what I discovered was a pretty good mix of music albeit difficult to understand at times. My youngest son Zachary wondered why we were listening to Spanish music of all things! I had to explain to him that it was actually in English but that the raggaishness (not a word I'm sure) made the lyrics difficult to grasp. Anyway, I would most definitely recommend Matisyahu to anyone that's looking for something a little different. If you're a fan of Bob Marley, then this just might be what your looking for- but with a Jewish twist.
