Goodness
Clinton Fearon's
10th self-produced album
Goodness reviews in the European media:
>>> Goodness is one of the best albums to be released this year. (Reggae.es, Spain).
>>> At 63 the former Gladiators’ singer is still living from and for his music. His new album Goodness is a jewel of acoustic reggae (Mondomix, France).
>>> Goodness: 4 stars. Clinton Fearon cultivates the same fluidity than the master Bob Marley. (Rock & Folk, France).
>>> Probably the best reggae album to listen to these days. (Marianne, France).
>>> Clinton Fearon proves once more that he is one of the finest song smiths in reggae music. Do yourself a favor and GET this album! (Reggae-Vibes, Netherlands).
>>> Hands down one of the albums of the year (although it comes as no great surprise). (Reggaeville, Germany).
>>> With Goodness Clinton Fearon delivers one of his best albums in years. (Reggae.be, Belgium).
