Jerry Criner, aka Cryout, has been carrying his Reggae messages around the globe for over 15 years, and can today be pinpointed as one of the most important and original north american artists in the genre.
His ever moving sounds, that constantly swing between Roots reggae and Blues, with sudden touches of classic Motown, have won over an ever-growing fanbase, and allowed him to share stages with such important reggae artists as Burning Spear, Pato Banton, Andrew Tosh, Inner Circle, The Itals and Steel Pulse.
"Righteous Medication for the Soul" is Cryout's first release as an album, a wonderful example of the solar, yet socially conscious, melodies and themes that rule his music.
For all World Music and Roots Reggae fans, this is surely destined to become a cult recording.
