Lyndon is looking forward to the release of his sophomore album, Brighter Days, in April 2010 so he can continue to deliver his roots reggae vibes and positive uplifting music to his fans, both new and old.

Odel has a strong CD out there called " Mind & Body Sold". With strong contributions from Fullwood, Scientist, Tony Chin, Tony Barrett and more, Odel's album showcases his roots, highlights his talent both as a drummer and singer and offers the listener much more than a typical Reggae release.

Along with Fully Fullwood, the famous bass player best-known for his brilliant work with Peter Tosh, he has toured extensively and globally with Joe Higgs, Dennis Brown, Micheal Rose, the Mighty Diamonds, Andrew Tosh, Mikey Dread and Scientist.

Odel is currently recording a new FACTOR funded record with Scientist.
