Roots Reggae from members of the grammy nominated Blue Riddim Band (Dem Riddims). Politically charged and deadly.
Bio / Background
Composer Jack Blackett is a member of the legendary band "Blue Riddim". They were nominated for a grammy with their album entitled "Alive in Jamaica" recorded at Sunsplash. The band still appears occasionally these days and is still actively performing and writing in other KC incarnations. This recording features 4 of the members including "Duck" McLane on drums, Jack Blackett on Sax, and Gary Helm on bass. Like so many of the reggae greats, Jack has always had a nose for political issues and never shied away from hot topics in his writing. Osama Bin Forgotten speaks for itself. The arranging is crisp and the lyrics crackle with biting commentary. If you haven't got an earfull yet, you owe it to yourself to check out this modern rip at the missed opportunities and greed of the Bush administration.
Thanks Jack for saying what too many of us ignore every day.
Look for a full length album in a ska vein from these Riddims in 2007!
