Amazon.com: Take Me to God: Music: Jah Wobble

Download "The Sun Does Rise" by Jah Wobble f. Dolores O'Riordan (The Cranberries) here.

A beautiful cross of African guitars, Celtic wailing and Jah's insane bass playing. Still somehow strangely accessible.

I'd put this one next to Fools' Gold in my Caravanseri Road Trip Mix. If I ever took such a trip.

Twelve vocalists, including Baaba Maal, Gavin Friday, and Chaka Demus & Pliers guest on this globehopping dance/pop confection masterminded by PIL's original bassist. The musical time-zone jumps are frequent and rather facile, but there are plenty of intriguing moments here--particularly when Dolores O'Riordan (The Cranberries) sets her Celtic wail against mbaqanga guitars on the first single, 'The Sun Does Rise,' and Wobble grows ecstatic on 'I Love Everybody.' --Jeff Bateman "
