Editor's note

Max Romeo, from Wet Dream to Chase the Devil

A reggae singer whose straightforward lyrics and spiritual themes kept him recording through the years.

For a quick sense of Romeo, try 'Chase the Devil' first. Then maybe 'Wet Dream' to hear where he started.

Romeo's music has that mix of social commentary and reggae groove that sticks with you. Songs like 'Chase the Devil' became widely known for their spiritual themes and driving rhythm, while 'Blood Of The Prophets' carries on that same energy. He started out working with producer Leslie Kong in the late 1960s, and kept recording without much fuss about it.

He began recording early tracks like 'Wet Dream' and 'One Step Forward' at Kong's studio. By 1976 he released 'Chase the Devil,' and his catalog includes songs such as 'Blood Of The Prophets' and 'Valley Of Jehoshaphat' that follow similar themes.
