Free Music Notes for Darker Than Blue: Soul from Jamdown (1973-1980)
Free Music Review: BLOOD & FIRE'S VERY BEST
Hit: 5 Stars
DARKER THAN BLUE: Manchester's Blood & Fire crew has been responsible for digging up and dusting off some of the most scorching reggae ever recorded, and SOUL FROM JAMDOWN seems to me to be the very pinnacle of their considerable achievements so far. Whereas earlier B&F collections tended to focus on a particular artist or producer, this release attempts to capture a specific sound : that is, the apocalyptic meeting of reggae and classic American soul music of the 60s and 70s. For Steve Barrow and Mark Ainley the JAMDOWN project has obviously been a labour of love, and their dedication and diligence is reflected in the sheer quality of the material on offer here. Push play, and tune in to sixty-four minutes of flying sparks, as some of Jamaica's most talented musicians meld the raw appeal of reggae to the smooth soul sound of black America. Highlights? The whole disc is one big highlight, but stand-outs would have to include Boris Gardiner's driving organ workout (keys courtesy of Leslie Butler) GHETTO FUNK; Milton Henry's searing take on GYPSY WOMAN; Al Brown's superb reading of AIN'T NO LOVE; and the forgotten Upsetter gem SLIPPING INTO DARKNESS, a deep vibration courtesy of the otherwise unkown Carl Bradney. In short, this collection is ALL KILLER from start to finish; scroll back up top, and put this one in your shopping cart immediately.
