Review:
Mostly filmed in 2010, this is the music documentary of the making of Grammy®-nominated reggae album “Revelation” by dub reggae legend Lee “Scratch” Perry. Perry continues to create unique, category-defying music, drawing his narrative from his spirituality and today’s global events. For the uninitiated, Lee “Scratch” Perry is one of the most important figures in the history of reggae music. Not only did he help develop the early reggae sound captured in a number of important recordings, but as an engineer, producer, songwriter, and performer he pioneered a number of innovations, including dub reggae.
