Here are some mellow Jamaican sounds to ease us into the week-end. Mixed by the great Lawrence "Jack Ruby" Lindo, prolific Jamaican roots producer who worked with Winston "Burning Spear" Rodney on many of his greatest releases (things like 1975s Marcus Garvey, mixed at Joe Gibb’s Studio). Jack Ruby’s work has been featured in the Deep Roots Music BBC documentary as well as in the movie Rockers. This release was recorded in 1980 & released the following year. Lindo died in 1989.
This release features a great cast of players: Bertram "Ranchie" McLean, Earl "Chinna" Smith, & Tony Chin – guitars; Aston "Family Man" Barrett & Robbie Shakespeare – bass; Bernard Harvey, Earl "Wire" Lindo, & Tyrone Downie – keyboards; Herman Marquis, Dirty Harry, & Tommy McCook – saxophones; Don D Junior – trombone; Bobby Ellis – trumpet; Carlton Samuels – flute; Uziah "Sticky" Thompson – percussion; & Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace – drums.
Recorded at Jack Ruby’s Studios, mixed at King Tubby’s Studios.
Produced by Dub Organizer & Jack Ruby.
