Praises finds Israel Vibration in full spiritual stride, delivering a roots reggae set that radiates warmth, resilience, and unwavering devotion.

Released in 1990, the trio - Wiss, Skelly, and Apple - were already pillars of harmony-driven reggae, and this album captures them surrounded by the unmistakable groove of the Roots Radics. Produced by Doctor Dread, Praises leans into a rich, analog depth, where every bassline pulses with purpose and every vocal line feels lived-in and sincere.

Tracks like Praises, Jah Is The Way, and We Are The Chosen glide over deep, rolling rhythms anchored by Flabba Holt’s bass and Style Scott’s commanding drums. The band’s signature interplay is elevated by Dwight Pinkney’s fluid guitar lines and a luminous horn section led by Dean Frazer, with Nambo and David Madden adding brassy flourishes that feel both celebratory and grounded. There’s a meditative quality throughout, balancing uplift with introspection in true roots fashion.

Long unavailable on vinyl since its original release, this newly remastered edition restores the album’s full sonic glow. For collectors and reggae devotees, it stands as a vital chapter in Israel Vibration’s legacy - a record that hums with faith, groove, and timeless Jamaican spirit.
