“Leaving Babylon”
Lymie Murray
Levitikal Music
Religious reggae has been around for a long time. Some might argue that many reggae songs are inspirational. For those who haven’t had the opportunity to hear much of it, check out Lymie Murray’s “Leaving Babylon.”
Released on Martello Melville’s Kingston, Jamaica-based Levitikal label, “Leaving Babylon” is an apocryphal cry that the end is near and we all must lift our weary souls and head swiftly to the Promised Land, “dancing and singing redemption songs.”It’s a message as straightforward as the rock steady beat that propels it, and the weary souls, ever forward.
