I'll admit, I have never heard of this artist before and took a gamble after listening to the Amazon previews. I've been looking for some new music...and I'm a big big fan of Ben Harper and Jack Johnson. The little 30 second previews from Amazon caused my ears to prick up. I'm a HUGE reggae/ ska/ dub fan....(I'm from Jamaica)and this album is great.
Deep rhythmic bass.... characteristic 'one-drop' reggae beat....tracks 1 and 3 are so far my favorite. Track 4 is like a Paul Simon/ Graceland when he linked up with Ladysmith Black Mamboza
I did a simple wiki on Xavier Rudd and amazed to see that he PLAYS ALL THESE INSTRUMENTS HIMSELF. WOW.
I watch his YouTube of Redemption Song....I can honestly say Marley would be proud.
The album itself is more reminiscent of Ben Harper than Jack Johnson....but this is a perfect album to jam to on your patio or deck during the summer. I'm at work and bought it from my phone...but I can't wait to get home and crank this up on my stereo system. This album is well worth it....though I don't know any of his previous work, he's got a new fan. I apologize in advance for not being able to compare it to his previous records...but I'm sure some of his current fans will give a favorable review.
Thanks Amazon!!
Koonyum-Sun is alot differnt than last cd Darker shades of blue but Kooyum- sun is summer music * time to smile * I recommend both cd's

Been a huge fan of Xavier for about 4 years now and have all his music. I can count on 1 finger how many other artists where I have their entire collection of music. I own over 600 CD's and have well over 7000 songs on my computer, but Xavier is HIGH on my rotation. I was lucky enough to see him here in Florida too!! Love this CD. Time to smile, Sky to ground, Set me free, Love comes and goes, hell, every song is awesome and I LOVE this man and his music!! Just get it! Get all of his music!!! NOW!
