Review by Derek Padula

The Maytals' album John James Lost Penny is a soulful and energetic collection of tracks that showcase the band's signature sound. The album features a mix of upbeat ska and reggae tracks, as well as slower, more contemplative ballads.

One standout track is "Bam Bam," which features a catchy horn riff and infectious chorus. The lyrics speak to the struggles of everyday life and the need to persevere in the face of adversity. Another highlight is "Johnny Coolman," a funky, upbeat track that features a groovy bassline and playful lyrics.

Throughout the album, the Maytals' vocal harmonies are on full display, with lead singer Toots Hibbert's soulful voice soaring above the instrumentation. The band's musicianship is also impressive, with tight arrangements and skilled instrumental solos.
