Taj Weekes & Adowa - Hope and Doubt (2005)

Taj Weekes presents a brand new experience in classic roots reggae. With wry trenchant lyrics, a haunting dusky quiver in his voice and the knock-down sound of his band Adowa, Taj has managed to weave a rare social conciousness with an unforgetable reggae groove.

An inspired work of uncommon verve. Audacious and original, it shines like a beacon among the gray of contemorary reggae. --Ian Camacho collectedsounds.com
Savor the wide-ranging lyricism and after your heart's been touched betcha can't sit still! --Marco Swados. Freelance writer, music arranger, author
Hope and Doubt is one of my favorite projects. Taj a true to the great roots of Reggae tradition. --Alan Silverman ARF digital (Nora Jones, Ennio Morricone)
