AcousticaLevy, his first original album in over 10 years, contains new recordings of many of the singer's greatest hits, plus two new compositions, all stripped down to showcase his voice. The concept is not a new one - in fact, the last two tracks on the album, "Vicey Versey Love" and "Vibes Is Right" are actually older album cuts, from the '90s and '80s, respectively, that were originally released with minimal instrumental accompaniment.

Many of the beats that are billed on this album as "one-drop" really are modern updates of the classic one-drop rhythm, but there are also some rockers numbers and quite a few uneasy hybrids of old- and new-school reggae, most of which work well but don't sound entirely natural. Some of the artists featured here (notably Sizzla, Anthony B, and Richie Spice) are old hands at roots-dancehall fusion, and others are fresh young faces on the neo-roots and dancehall scenes.
