New album was released in Jamaica and in foreign about 10 days ago featuring reggae artistes doing covers of some well loved/old time country music. One of the best tracks is a duet between Romain Virgo and Larry Gatlin of "California". Romain Virgo is of the best upcoming young JA artistes - he won Digital's Rising Stars in 2007 at age 17 (Rising Stars is JA's equivalent to American Idol). Here are a few tracks if you want to have a listen:
