Heavier Than Lead
CD (Item 607379) Kingston Sounds/Jamaican Recordings (UK), Mid 70s — Condition: New Copy
I Roy takes off on a host of classic cuts – giving them his own mighty touch – that witty twist that always made his contributions so great! Most numbers were recorded at Randys or Studio One – with instrumentation that includes Tommy McCook on tenor, Bobby Ellis on trumpet, Winston Wright on organ, and Sly & Robbie on rhythms – all of whom provide a very soulful bottom for I Roy to work with! Titles include "Musical Feast", "City Slicker", "Give Thanks To Jah", "Musical Explosion", "Straight To Jazzbo Head", "Words Of Wisdom", "Stick Around", "Hard Bud Fi Dead" and more. 15 on CD. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
