Revolutionary Sounds
(Shanachie)
"Revolutionary Sounds" is a single CD, but it can also be found as part of an
excellent 4-CD Box set. Subtitled "Essential Rockers Reggae Classics (1973-1981),
this disc is exactly that as it offers 14 tracks and just over 50 minutes of
classic Reggae delivered in the "Rockers" style.
I personally bought it because of one tune, Dr. Alimantado's "Born For A Purpose,"
but it also has such killer tracks as Burning Spear's "Slavery Days," Jacob Miller's "False
Rasta," Sugar Minott's "Chant A Psalm," and a crucial version of "A Little Way Different" by
Errol Dunkley.
If you're unfamiliar with the greatness of Jamaican music, this disc would be a great place to start.
