Embark on a journey in reggae music from Bristol UK to Kingston JA with ‘Time Will Tell’, a collaborative opus uniting Henry & Louis (Andy Scholes & Jack Lundie) with Rob Smith from Smith & Mighty (under his Blue & Red alias) and great voices in reggae music. Originally released in 2001, the mixtape-style album makes its return, freshly remastered for the record stores & streaming platforms!

Armed with an abundance of passion and a 16-track reel-to-reel full of instrumentals produced by his friends Rob & Jack, his ambition is to record his favourite Jamaican vocalists and to produce an album.

Tony Tuff, Willie Williams, Johnny Clarke, Pacey, Shalom, Prince Green… Andy returns to England, his luggage packed with incredible recordings printed on tape. The fusion of Rob and Jack's modern production with the authentic conscious lyrics breathes of something deep and unique. To finalise the project, the three accomplices decide to invite MCs from their entourage on the track list including the original Tippa Irie; in total 13 singers make the cut onto the continuous mix album!
