Monty Alexander: No Woman No Cry

A regular dose of Monty Alexander is good for the soul. He always has an inner positivity running through everything he touches—much like his most-admired heroes, such as fellow Jamaican icon Bob Marley. Combine the spirits of the two, as with a heart-stirring take on the warmest of Marley songs, and you've got a special kind of uplifting.
