Ken Boothe "You're no good (aka Crying over you)"

Ken Boothe & Prince Jammy "You're No Good" (12" version)

COUNTRY GOT SOUL

About the importance of digging country music...
This man's got soul. And balls.

Larry Jon Wilson "Sheldon Church Yard"



Still on the "Country got soul" compilation (vol.I), Tony Joe White sounds good, doesn't he?

Tony Joe White "Did Somebody Make A Fool Out Of You"

Eddie Kirk "Monkey Tonight"



Johnny Watson "I Say, I Love You"

Express Brass Band "Radio Kabul"

BACK IN THE 80's

And of course back in Jamaïca... with digital stuff today, to listen as loud as you can.

JAMAICA part III

Oldies & rarities today... I've met Chris Blackwell there in Jamaïca. The man is the one who gave a chance to the world to hear about Marley's song, signing him on the Island label. Give thanx !

Bob Marley "Duppy Conqueror"



Lee "Scrarch" Perry is in the loop on this lightning "keep on skanking" version.

Bob Marley "Keep on Skanking"



Here is one of the weirdest cut I've never heard coming from Jamaïca. Hypnotic strings part for an unexpecting Exodus version...

Bob Marley's Band & Sir Collin "Exodus"

JAMAICA part II

Sunset, first Toots cuts on Island, Calallo, hot spices and Bizot bar.



Toots "Six and Seven Books of Moses"



Toots "I'll Never Grow Old"

JAMAICA part I

Back from an odd, short & very exciting trip from Jamaïca with a lot of pics, sounds & a big smile on my face... I've met there great talents, Courntey John is one of them, a falsetto voice, the man sings on old Pecking riddims, I really hope I'll have a collab with him on the next Blundetto thing.

Courtney John "Lucky Man"





Music is everywhere in Jamaïca, in the streets, the shops, and every cars you get in... I discover this old Sizzla Kalonji in a cab, playing perfectly loud a Dj Kelly mixtape. Killer Hit !!!

Sizzla "I know you love me baby"



I know it's kind of a cliché, but classics mean something different in that kinda place. Even a burned track sounds tight !

Bob Marley and the Wailers "Sun Is Shining"

Boris Gardiner "Ain't No Sunshine"




More to come soon.

GOLDEN EYE
