Between The Lines

Jah Sun, “Between the Lines”
Reviewed by Kim Walter
Fifth album from Humboldt CA native son. This album started as a reflection on his life’s journey and ended as a “defining moment, both musically and spiritually.” I like that he incorporates Reggae influences into more approachable music. I can honestly say that this is the BEST album I have reviewed in quite a while, probably due to it’s true fusional nature- it’s only loosely “Americana” because he’s from California and has been influenced by the Indie/Americana scene. To me, it’s really more of a world music sound. A great world music sound. Best: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6!!, 11
