The title certainly gets it right – as Derrick Harriott serves up a wonderful mix
of sounds that owes plenty to American funk and soul
of the early 70s – some cool Kingston covers
of famous US tunes, and some other originals that are equally groovy overall! The set's one
of the
best that we've ever heard from the Dub Store label – and almost has a Soul
Jazz level
of track selection – really wonderful work that either features Derrick in the lead, or working with some hip contemporaries, in a groove that's totally great – neither straight reggae, but also quite far from more familiar funk and soul too. Titles include "Black Moses" by The Preacher, "Tougher Than Tough" by I Roy, "Brown Baby" by Derrick Harriott, "Hell Below" by Crystal Generation, "Going Back Home" by The Chosen Few, "Psychedelic Train" by Derrick Harriott, "Slippery" by Karl Bryan & The Crystalites, "Home Sweet Home" by Bongo Herman & Les, "Rescue The Children" by Junior Murvin, "Phoenix" by Noel Brown, "People Make The World Go Round" by The Chosen Few, and "Message From A Black Man" by Derrick Harriott.
