When it comes to roots reggae, The Congos are in a league of their own, and Don’t Blame It On I is another gem in their iconic catalog. Produced by the legendary Lee “Scratch” Perry, this 7″ captures that deep, mystical energy that Perry was known for, pairing perfectly with The Congos’ spiritual harmonies.

On the A-side, Don’t Blame It On I offers a smooth yet powerful message, delivered through Cedric Myton’s haunting falsetto and Roy Johnson’s grounding baritone. The track exudes that rich, organic roots sound that fans of The Congos crave, with a groove that invites reflection while keeping you swaying. It’s a track that blends personal responsibility with broader social consciousness, something The Congos excel at.

Flip it over, and Feast of the Passover delivers an almost ceremonial atmosphere. The rhythmic drumming and vocal layers create a deep, spiritual vibe, transporting you to a place where reggae meets ritual. Perry’s touch is all over the production, with subtle sound effects and the unmistakable warmth of Black Ark’s golden era.

Distributed by Reggae Fever, this 2021 reissue stays true to the original vibes while bringing a fresh pressing to collectors and selectors alike. Whether you’re looking to add to your roots collection or searching for that perfect track to enhance a conscious set, this release by The Congos is a standout.
