Errol Dunkley - Jah Apple 12"

 

Natty Congo 12" 1981

 

 

Jah Apple / Little Green Apple

Hell & Sorrow

 

 

Lovers rock styled cover of Roger Miller's country hit. Really nice singing, it's a shame this style of song has fallen so badly out of fashion.

After singing 'Black Cinderella' and 'Keep The Pressure Down' for producer Jimmy Radway, Errol Dunkley fell out with him. As a result a couple of songs that had been intended for him were given to other singers instead. Leroy Smart got 'Mother Lisa', Hortense Ellis got 'Hell & Sorrow'.
Years later, Dunkley finally cut his version of 'Hell & Sorrow' for Trevor Bow of the Sons Of Jah.

Crime Free Christmas Project 2016 was a Jamaican musical anti-violence initiative spearheaded by industry guitarist and producer Lamont 'Monty' Savory. 

With the use of acoustic guitar instead of electric this release got some fine shots on it, fresh and spontaneous. Each track was accompanied with a video. The campaign was said to be a huge success.

Dobby Dobson & Ringo - Sweet Christmas

 

Top Ranking International LP 1978

 

Hi Kingstonians, though a bit on the early side today we have here this cozy Christmas album (@320 kbps) from 43 years ago. Special thanks goes out to backing band Fatman Riddim Section and engineer Paul Khouri, who tirelessly spent hours in the Miami Sound Studios to create and record the festive spirit in Dobby's rendition of these contemporary Christmas carols for all reggae lovers to enjoy during the Holiday season.

 

With the addition of deejay Ringo to ride some wild version an acceptable playing time of about 33 minutes was reached and immediately after pressing the album got launched at the Jamaican market; the big and cozy market that is right behind the train station in Kingston town. It sold like hot bread and further established Dobby Dobson's reputation of being a truly unique and elegant styled singer.
