Joe Pilgrim & The Ligerians

Step Out EP 2018 

This artist/group only recently came under my radar despite them releasing music since 2011. This is their 3rd full set. This EP has a real goldschool UK roots reggae sound reminiscent of bands like The Naturalites & Realistics or Black Slate. Great sound.

1st half focuses on The Tartans classic 1960s rocksteady & reggae singles together with flip sides from the MERRITONE, TREASURE ISLE, CALTONE labels,... While Devon mostly takes lead the other members all come to the fore on their respective compositions. 1967-70

We then move on to some their early solo works following the group's breakup in 1970 on STUDIO ONE, BLACK ARK & Lincoln's own GOD SENT. Features several LLOYD ROBINSON songs (Lloyd & Devon), including the smash hit Red Bum Ball with versions from U Roy & I Roy.
