Earl CHINNA Smith is one of Jamaica’s most sought after guitarists, as well as an arranger and songwriter. He appears on screen backing up Kiddus-I and Gregory Isaaccs. He is also the writer and composer of “Fade Away”, which is heard on the soundtrack.
The music is consistently brilliant, and it will surely gain new converts for the reggae best.
– Richard M. Nusser, BILLBOARD
Rockers is another Jamaican movie with the sparkle of The Harder They Come… Rockers is in many respects the better of the two… funny off-beat players and a sinuous reggae score.”
– Janet Maslin, NY TIMES
Reggae’s raw, righteous cinematic masterpiece… this beautiful edition does a crucial film necessary justice.
