“Far From Jamaica” is the latest single from reggae artist Mighty Mystic, aka Kevin Holness. He emigrated from Jamaica to Boston when he was nine, but even after 30-plus years, it’s hard for many outsiders to endure the long New England winters. “Far From Jamaica” is an old-school reggae jam that is about missing home, and much more. Host Marco Werman gives us a taste.
