Maccow’s voice exhibits the influence of Bob Marley, coating each Reggae and rock ‘n’roll track with warm island melodies. Female backing harmonies add a pleasant touch.(Reviewed by Jesse T.) ReviewsJahmings Maccow & E-Rif, New Way (© 1999 Liquid Cyber Recordings) Far be it from me to call myself a know-it-all, and when it comes to reggae, well, it’s probably a category on Jeopardy where I wouldn’t win too much cash. Yet there’s something calming about that reggae beat, the chinking of the guitar chords on the 2 and the 4, that just relaxes you. Jahmings Maccow, who has been around in various shades and forms since the late ‘70s, offers a disc that isn’t full-blown reggae either, with some R&B, jazz, even hip-hop inflections and nuances, all popping up here and there. There are some beautiful moments with female backing vocals as well, as on the title track, for instance. And, who knows, maybe reggae purists will scoff at the various styles here, but hey, I like it. It calms me, and if you want to chill a bit, trow da disc on mon. www.rebelsproduction.comSeptember 1, 2002, by Bill RibasThis is probably some of the smoothest and soulful reggae music that I’ve heard in a long time. Great vocals, great lyrics, great all around sound and style. New Way is an album with irresistible charm and a highly alluring essence. Like a lot of reggae music, the lyrics jump out and hit you with a great sense of reality and compassion. Very intelligent songwriting and a very powerful sound. This is definitely one of the best reggae albums that I’ve had the pleasure to review. My recommendation comes high for this album.

Reviews (cont...)Though I’ve tried to label this recording as Reggae, once you are past the very Marley-esque ‘Scamper Dread’ which opens your 12 song journey, the music goes off in so many other directions, it’s hard to keep up with it. The one thing you can Really say about this New Way is that it’s looking island-grown, and seems to be sweetly self-produced. On some tracks, it’s like sitting in with someone very talented at his home. Sometimes he gets the guitar player in, as the quite fluid ‘New Way - part II’ illustrates for a good 2 minutes. Sometimes Jammings brings in his back-up girls to help ‘Leave This Town’. He relies heavily on keyboards, but the strength of the Caribbean voice and the world-flavored rock put this CD into a party-political arena seldom heard on mainstream radio in the States. There are some tracks that could use cleaning up, unless this is their charm. The highly synth-dominated ‘Doomsday’ is like 2 different songs in one - acoustic, and not. There is a little drum machine in the left speaker that, early on, sounds like static of some sort. If only it were on an acoustic piano to give realism to the earnest voices, it would be a much better tune in my humble opinion. Same for ‘Pay the Price’, which has a great horn, sound, but mixing with the keys brings it down a notch. A pity since Maccow is a rather strong singer/arranger/composer. But this reviewer may be just oversensitive to hybrids. ‘I pay the price - in parasites places / What a By: Ben OhmartRhythm & Blues Rock guitar player and a more polished songwriter. All of the programing and most of the instruments were played by Jahmings Maccow, who is furthermore joined by such fine musicians like Paul Henton, Cesar Garcia, Michael Bolger, Maria Paul and backing vocalists Carolyn Tenore and Tita Hutchison. The thirteen to fifteen months it took to record this album have been spent well regarding the final result. “New Way” is a well produced and polished album on which Jahmings Maccow explores the styles of R&B, Rock and Latin Music while still maintaining his Roots in Reggae. This makes that the listener is treated to a well varied album, which has the potential to reach a mainstream audience. The songs are well constructed, the backing is tight, the vocals are crisp and clear, and the riddims are all fresh originals. Not exactly an album for the Roots Reggae purists, but beyond all doubt incorporating enough entertainment for music lovers with an open ear and mind. Teacher & Mr. T.

But looking past instrumentation into spirit and domino tumbling style, the New Way is a great release from the pressures of the day. You may not forget them - not with the color photos in CD booklet showing bombs, world leaders, the vast poor, the slashing of the ecology - but you will find yourself a little spiritually superior when you come away from the 51 minute disc. If the best entertainments make you think and act as well as smile, then put Maccow and his E-Rif among the best. You will find a tropical drink in your hand and a plethora of sunshine in your mirror before you’re halfway thru the 1st cut.
