You could say that Luciano is easy to listen too but he is by no means easy listening.
I could lie to your face and say that Luciano's Child Of A King was recorded in 1977 at Channel One Studios backed by the Revolutionaries and if you didn't know any better...you would believe me.
Luciano dropped it through VP Records in 2006 and this release benefited from the very best that technology had to offer. So meticulous and perfect in it's creation is this record that surely time won't tarnish it's brilliance. CHILD OF A KING fits so easily into either generation. This record has no expiration date.
There is so much humanity in his soul that even tunes burdened with heavy woe are uplifted. It may be a way over used cliche' but Luciano embodies positive vibes. Sure themes are pulled directly from the pages of JAH'S words but Luciano is also no stranger to the daily newspapers and their headline reports of bloodshed that clot up the print.
Luciano warns of wars that will leave tomorrows children with no Earth to inherit. He can't turn the cheek on Black on Black crime. And for those Badmen who prey on the weak, there is no nourishment in their personal gain. Wicked practitioners of violence eventually fall victim of their own vicious cycle. You can't broker a deal with the Devil and expect to win for long. There will come a time when the Devil comes to collect what you owe him. The temptation to stick an IRS joke here is overwhelming.
Repatriation? There is always path leading home.
