Joshua To Jashwha - 30 Years In The Wilderness

bristol archive records showcase the great talent of one of the local reggae scene's mainstays, joshua moses. unfortunately, joshua has no copies of the many recording sessions he has done in the years since his first session in 1978, and so it has taken more than eighteen months of painstaking research and the pursuit of numerous leads to gather together the ten tracks on 'joshua to jashwha - 30 years in the wilderness'. the tracks on this album were recorded between 1978 and 2003 yet prior to bristol archive's involvement the only tracks to have been previously released were the very scarce 'africa (is our land)' and it's dub counterpart 'home' and 'rise up'. the other six tracks were recorded over a period of twenty years and include a trio of live recordings, but all the tracks have one thing in common they are all roots tunes of the highest order and joshua being a multi talented musician has created the music with as much skill as the lyrics.
