I've always had a weakness for Jamaican music. I also liked (and still like) these downbeat bands like Nightmares On Wax, Boozoo Bayou, Thievery Corporation and whatever they're called. Many of them are inspired by reggae and that's why this mix works so well. There is classic reggae, reggae remixes from well-known mix-wizards, as well as a few tracks from downbeat troops who tinker with the blues. The mix is probably 10 years old, but I'm always thrilled when I stumble across the CD again. The tracks can be selected individually.
