Pitchfork says: “Mike Ladd is a man who defies classification. A former English professor who does rock, soul, spoken-word, blues, punk, psychedelia, and hip hop….Father Divine is the title of his latest album on veteran punk/reggae label ROIR. A concept album about the religious leader George Baker (aka Father Divine), the project was initially an attempt to revive the classic 80s ROIR sound, back when the label was putting out cassettes by the likes of Bad Brains and Suicide… A number of guests appear on the album, including Priest of Antipop Consortium/Airborne Audio, Jaleel Bunton of TV on the Radio, pianist Vijay Iyaer, and French producer Gymkhana. All this is enough to make a convert out of anyone, so prepare for the second coming.”
URB says: “With this sprawling concept album Mike Ladd has hit a new career high. 4.5 out of 5 Stars.”
We say: “Holy Mackeral, this show is going to be off the HANDLE.”
