With Labour of Love III, the reggae-pop outfit tries to regain some of the glimmer of their former popularity with this third installment of their most successful album. They cover Neil Diamond's "Holly Holy" ("Hey, "'Red Red Wine'" was a mega-smash. Let's do Neil again!"). The rest of the disc is peppered with covers of skanking standards like Peter Tosh's "Legalize It" and Marley's "Soul Rebel." ~ Tim Sheridan
