Massive Pick: Tarrus Riley - Parables

Tarrus Riley's breakthrough came in 2006 with the release of his sophomore album, Parables, on VP Records.  With production from Dean Fraser on 14 of 15 tracks, this album is a modern classic that features hits from top to bottom.  The biggest hit is the lover's tune, “She’s Royal,” which won best song & most popular song (people's choice) at the Reggae Academy Awards.  My other favorites are “Micro Chip,” a song about the dangers of over-relying on technology & "Parables," Tarrus' version of the original 1972 Lee 'Scratch' Perry riddim, Three Blind Mice.   Check out "Stay With You," made famous by John Legend, “System Set," "Beware," and even the slower "Lion Paw" & "Something Strong."  Check the whole album 'cause Parables is an essential part of any reggae fan's collection.
