Rasta living Mixtape 2007

 

 

Returning to the SiamRootsical back catalogue.... Rasta living positive livity

Massive B's Jah Love Riddim is a real killer as is Gibbo & Errol Thompson's Hard Times. I-Wayne's deeply insightful Rasta Tell Them All The While is classic roots. Other riddims include Rastar, Rocking Time, Notorious, Maroon, Binghi Trod and Sweet Sop. Jah Cure & Fantan Mojah's Nah Build Great Men was an instant classic. Strength Of A Lion by Chrisinti is also superb

Best of Prince Lincoln Thompson - Revolutionary Man

 

 

Prince Lincoln Thompson Tribute 

Revolutionary Man - the best of... 

Love The Way It Should Be

 

Paying homage one of my favorite artists, the late, great Prince Lincoln. Brings together some of the best songs from throughout his solo career (1976-1997). Multi-instrumentalist Thompson is best known for deep, profound and slightly unusual roots music. Hit tunes Kingston 11 & Humanity (Neville King) have long been grassroots blues party killers complete with stunning version sides. Lincoln started out in rocksteady group The Tartans before passing through Studio One, starting his own label (God Sent) in the mid-70s and moving into self-production. Despite being signed up by Ballistic and then United Artists wider success eluded him as he trod his own path, making a total of only 6 vocal albums with a smattering of singles on God Sent into the 1990s. Similar in style and substance to Roy Cousins & The Royals, Rasses music also takes a little time to penetrate but enters deeper and deeper into the conscience with each play. I wore out two of his lps (True Experience & Rootsman Blues) back in my youth.

Features several self-releases and collaborations with Daddy Freddie, Prince Jammy and fellow Tartans members Cedric Myton & Devon Russell. Covers of Bob Andy's Revelation and Bob Marley's African Herbman, Jah Live & Want More. All three of his amazing Studio One recordings are here.
