Cocoa Tea's earliest sessions from the 1980s were collected on CD and issued by Ras in 1991. He was forging his style and sometimes sounded tentative and unsure, but the natural ability that has since frequently been compromised by inferior material came to the fore on "Can't Stop Cocoa Tea," his first big hit, and "Evening Time," which skillfully used the melody of "Mother Nature." While it's woefully short (barely over 30 minutes) and not that well remastered from analog to disc, the restrained production, Tea's mostly outstanding vocals, and its historical importance make Rocking Dolly a valuable release. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide [-] Collapse
