Luciano will inevitably be compared to the late Garnett Silk, not so much because of his voice as his style and lyrics. Dancehall these days is dominated by DJs spouting slackness, so a conscious singer like Luciano or Garnett Silk stands out. That Luciano can hold his own with these DJs is a testament to his powerful appeal. One Way Ticket gives the audience a glimpse of why he remains so loved; he manages to harness the digital sound of the dancehall DJs and mold them with his peaceful spirituality into a form of modern psalms or sermons (much like Silk). Songs like "Jah Is Alive" and "Black Survivor" attest to this talent. Luciano even manages to throw in a couple of slower R&B-ish tunes -- "One Sweet Day" and "That's the Way Life Goes" -- that lack nothing in power and that may pack even more of an appeal. The best song here, though, may be his version of the standard "Nature Boy," an entrancing parable with the echoing, beautifully simple chorus, "To love. . . and be loved. . . ." And people who need people are the luckiest people -- oh, sorry.

this was a fantastic show in zurich with the legendary Dean Fraser playing saxaphone with the JahMessinjah band. Luciano 's singing is 'smooth as silk' and so was the show which included Andrew Tosh-son of the late, great Peter Tosh. 'he looks like his dad and sings like his dad'!
great show!
