Review: Edinburgh-based Athens Of The North are best known for wonky leftfield house and disco/soul, but they've never been afraid to throw the odd curveball. One such came in the form of 2020's 'For The Love Of You', a compilation of lover's rock covers of funk, soul and disco classics, and now here comes a second installment, which packs reggae-fied takes on much-loved gems from the likes of Dennis Edwards, Randy Crawford, Bill Withers, William DeVaughn, The Mary Jane Girls and, perhaps more surprisingly, Simply Red. Covers collections have of course long been a staple of the reggae scene, but they can often be a bit hit-and-miss - thankfully this one features a lot more hits than misses!
