Dennis Brown: Your Love's Amazing
Alton Ellis: La La Means I Love You
Dean Fraser: Float On
Some of the recent Jah Cure stuff is pretty nice on a positive lyrics tip. Also check that 'Earth Runs Red' tune by Richie Spice on the same riddim as Jah's 'Bless me'tune.
There's tons of decent lovers joints to cop, not with my rackerds now so I can't think of any off the top of my head. Gregory Isaacs usually hits the spot.
The Paragons
John Holt "I'm the one to blame"
Otis Gayle on Studio One
Heart of the Congoes lp
Lee Perry "Curly Locks"
etc
Abyssinians - Hey You
Israel Vibration - Red Eyes
Barrington - Black Rose (alternate)
Dr Alimantado - Johnny was a baker
reggae and summer go together like Chachi And Joanie
I'll try and post more later.
gregory issacs - night nurse lp
dillinger - cb 200 lp
johnny clarke - rockers time now lp
Rockers! - OST
Studio One Rockers (soul jazz comp)
PErry producttion. For what I like,
Phill Pratt produced. Dennis Brown - Let Love In...IMO, could be the most beatiful song I've ever witnessed (again and again)
Gorgeously innovative Studio 1 production with a latin-ish guitar lead (Ernest Ranglin?) backed by jaw-dropping vocals.
K in Canada.
I like this song:
Hopeton Lewis- Take it Easy
K.
Just Like The Sea ??? David Isaacs ??? beautiful sentiment
Oversize Man ??? Al Campbell ??? beautiful piano
Whisper to Me ??? Cecile Campbell ??? beautiful sexiness
Familyman Barrett - Soul Constitution ??? beautiful subtlety
Cornell Campbell- You're No Good - beautiful heartbreak
Abyssinians ??? Abendigo ??? beautiful driving undercurrent
almost any Lennie Hibbert ??? beautiful vibraphones
Creation Dub LP - beautiful heaviness
African Roots ??? Act 1 ??? beautiful wonkiness
A few tunes I like:
Greg Isaacs- Tune In/Confirm Reservation
Willy Williams- Armagideon Time
Chantells- Blood River
Horace Andy- My Soul
Dennis Brown- Deliverance Will Come
Congos- Fisherman
Light Of Saba- Jah Light It Right
*drawing blanks*
more coffee please
The Heptones - Sweet Talkin - beautiful courtship
Lloyd Charmers - African Zulu - beautiful scariness. Yes, I find this song to be a little scary...
In the meantime (and consider this an adjunct to the "Goosebumps" thread):
Dennis Brown "Here I Come"
Pretty much any of the Abyssinians versions of "Satta Massagana"
Junior Murvin "Police and Thieves"
Errol Dunkley "Movie Star" (one of my most favoritest songs ever in any genre) and "Black Cinderella"
Sizzla "Holding Firm"
Junior Byles "Fade Away"
Junior Reid "Concrete Castle King"
Oh yes.
I should know this, but forget who does the original? Dennis B perhaps?
Susan Cadogan - Nice & Easy
David Isaacs---"A Place in the Sun" its not officially summer at the crib unless this gets played
Keith and Tex--- "Stop That Train"
Dawn Penn---"No No No"
Webber Sisters---"Come on Home"
Carl Bradney---"Slipping into Darkness"
Joy White---"Lady Lady"
Max Romeo---"Jordan River"
and on and on...
now I give back, and when I think about beautiful sunny day reggae I think of the euphoric falsetto of Cornell Campbell.
from my cute little tiny reggae collection:
Gypsy Woman
Girl of the Dream
and not Cornell or from my record collection:
Some Keith Hudson dub that sounds like it was recorded on a cloud with a heroin IV drop
KL[/b]... identify this!
Dope tune, K.
thats what i listened to 5 times this week
Singers and Players - Autobiography (mikey dread)
If anyone can hit me up with this record, lemme know. Singers and Players are a big favorite of mine for years.. but never ever found the vinyl.
Garnett Silk - Splashing Dashing
Anything by the The Gladiators
Max Romeo "Open the Iron Gate"
Sizzla "Black Woman and Child"
Junior Delgado "Original Guerilla Music"
This one also gives me chills (along with many other Garnett Silk tunes).
"" - The Border
Jimmy Cliff - Too Many Rivers to Cross
Culture - Two Sevens Clash (whole LP)
Bob Marley - No Woman No Cry (add this to my goosebumps post please)
Delroy Wilson-Dancing Mood [its early-more of a ska number but its the summer time feel good jam of the century]
Alton Ellis-Willow Tree
Phyllis Dillon-Rocksteady
Dennis Brown - Sitting & Watching.
Freddie McGregor - Big Ship.
Half Pint - Level the vibes.
