With reggae, the song’s meaning isn’t always the point. More often, it’s the grooving from side to side. That was largely the case with Jamaican-born Leroy Shakespeare, whose Metroplex-based band made a bar-band legend by incessantly crisscrossing the South from 1988-2001. This recently reformed group was notably voted the Dallas Observer’s Best Reggae Band four straight years around the time of this album’s release. “Jubilation” remains the most accessible of the Ship of Vibes’ initial burst of rhythm and fun, in a catalogue that grew to include five CDs, a cassette EP and a 12-inch. - Nick Deriso
