Justin Hinds And The Dominoes - Travel With Love - Amazon.com Music
Justin Hinds topped the charts in Jamaica with his 1964 single “Carry Go Bring Home” and eventually recorded a staggering seventy singles for the Treasure Island Record label. A ska and rocksteady pioneer, after a short stint with Mango Records in the ’70s, he returned to the studio to record material for Nighthawk Records. Travel With Love was originally released in 1984, and combined Hinds and The Dominos’ classic past with the evolving reggae sound. The original albums’ 8 tracks were supplemented with a CD bonus track 3 years later, and eventually 2 more songs were unearthed for a 2015 LP reissue release. With Omnivore Recordings’ acquisition of the Nighthawk Records label in 2017, even more material has been discovered and added, to create the definitive version of this classic. Travel With Love now reappears in 2018, with 10 bonus tracks, 7 previously unissued. It has been mastered by Grammy®-winning engineer Michael Graves. In addition to the music, the packaging features new art and liner notes from original producer Leroy Jodie Pierson, who also co-produced the reissue with Grammy®- winner, Cheryl Pawelski. Prepare to travel to the past and embrace the future of reggae with Travel With Love.

If you know anything about reggae and don't know about this album then go back to Rockers school. This is easily one of the best records of all time and must have for any reggae collection.
Much music came after this album but this alone is the most distinctive in style and sound. It has stood the test of time and the "background story" contained in the liner is as enchanting as the music itself. A must for any serious reggae fan!
Justin Hinds ('42-'05) is most widely known for his work associated with Duke Reid's Treasure Isle label. And rightly so, as the material he produced during that time is considered classic when talking about the ska/rock steady/early reggae eras of Jamaican music. He did continue to work after that time, in the late 70s and early 80s although becoming more sporadic and almost completely ceasing after the release of Travel With Love. Many are not aware of, or simply have forgotten, his work post-Reid productions, but Travel With Love is a collection that is as good those earlier works. It certainly is different. These songs were recorded between 1982 and 1984, and feature the Wailers' rhythym section of Carlton (drums) and Aston (bass) Barrett. Tyrone Downie, the Wailers' keyboard player, also makes appearance. The songs were recorded at Tuff Gong Studios and mixed at Aquarius.
Hinds crafted some very fine, meditative lyrics for these tracks. His unique timbre is quite evident, and perhaps highlighted moreso in this later roots reggae musical style, where there is more space to spread out and be expressive. Some of these songs are achingly beautiful. It is really a shame that Hinds didn't record more tracks in this vein.
This release was published by the now-defunct Nighthawk label run by Bob Schoenfeld. I've always enjoyed the Nighthawk label releases, and have never had a bad experience with them when it comes to sound quality. This release is no exception. If you enjoy roots reggae, this is worthy for your collection. Hinds was an original, and deserves to be widely heard.
No roots reggae collection can ever be said to be complete and absolutely no reggae fan can be worth that name without this superb Wailers backed hearty drum and bass, roots driven reggae rhythm. Like most other members of international reggae audience, I was introduced to Justin Hinds through their 1976 'Jezebel' album with the inimitable iconic 'Natty Take Over', 'What You Don't Know' and 'Carry Go Bring Come' tracks. But 'Travel With Love', originally released in 1984, is far smoother, rootsier and more evocative than that 1976 offering. And this album came when reggae was just embarking on a journey of self destruction with the slack dancehall madness! This is, quite simply, a remarkable album, and the imprint of the Wailers' duo of Aston 'Familyman' Barret and Carlton Barret makes this a dynamite collector's item.
Received this CD free due to it arriving a month or so late. It was well worth it. Did not know Justin sang roots reggae and love songs such as are here. Backed by top notch musicians the rythems are great. Great addition to my vast catolog.
This is a truly superb record, top-rank in areas of vocals, songwriting, musicianship, and production. The line-up of players is the best, and I'm sure they loved making the music on this album. Sounds it. Some of the songs have a bluesy vamp goin' on -- one wonders if this has something to do with the fact that the label behind this recording (Nighthawk) was founded as a blues label. Note that there is a hidden bonus track on the CD in the form of a tasteful dub version of Sweet Loraine attached to the vocal cut. Audiophiles should also note that though this is not a re-mastered CD release, the sound quality is quite fine. Justin Hinds and the Dominoes left a slim legacy in terms of complete albums -- but this one (released in 1984) is a strong classic. Hinds' somewhat plaintive voice is a truly beautiful thing. Reggae lovers are fortunate that Nighthawk got him and his Dominoes out to make this beautiful recording.
IMO - The drumming and percussion on several songs here is among the best ever recorded in reggae. The splash cymbal on "In the Jungle" is serious PERFECTION, the outro drum/bass/percussion unbelievably smooth. The drum/bass on "Weeping Eyes" is also incredibly smooth, slow tempo but very complex. Really beautiful stuff that hasn't been matched since. The story is that Justin Hinds was taking a break from the corrupt and dangerous music industry (he had an encounter with a gun at a studio), and was literally living in the jungle when he was lured out for this album.
