Devon Russel – Darker Than Blue

Devon Russel - Darker Than BlueUn disco reggae, non è musica che ascolto abitualmente, anzi non l’ascolto proprio, lho preso solamente perchè c’è una partecipazione di Kenny Kirkland e tra l’altro non so neppure in quale brano o se in tutti.

1. Love To The People
2. Wild And Free
