[Maximus]

Two highlights from Joan's 60th party last Friday....

Tarrus Riley - She's Royal

Garnet Silk - It's Growing

Absolutely wonderful and spiritual...

Those are great Gassy - slightly later than when I was mostly listening to reggae. I know the rhythm of the Garnet Silk but can't remember it.

OK, I'm on a mission now - let's start with a couple of classic JA singers:

Very young Dennis Brown:

Dennis Brown - No Man Is An Island

My favourite from the Cool Ruler:

Gregory Isaacs - Front Door

[Gaspode]

Excellent Max and all the better for not being the obvious songs from those two artists.

Have some British Reggae then.

Brum's finest and not a bloody Campbell brother in sight.

Handsworth Revolution - Steel Pulse

Exiles Ina Babylon - Merger

I remember both bands supporting punk bands back in the day. Not altogether sure just how I remember those days mind....

I really liked UB40's first 2 albums,after that it all went a bit pear shaped.

Love that - not the usual Eek A Mouse track which is this one:

Eek-a-Mouse - Wa-Do-Dem

A couple of others with a distinctive style from around the same period. These are the obvious ones:

Yellowman - Zungguzungguguzungguzeng

Barrington Levy - Under Mi Sensi

There's some familiar names there.That must be one of the best song titles ever.
