Andy, Horace: Say Who (CD)

Horace Andy has always commanded a place high on the list of Reggae singers from Jamaica. His distinctive haunting vocal style stands strong on any rhythm. Song or style he chooses to cover.

Horace Andy's work with producer Bunny Lee in the 70's is where most of his hits and from this stable of work, Kingston Sounds have compiled this set. Some of his late 60's classics were re-cut in the popular 1970s style, working with the rhythm kings themselves, Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare. They have added some shine to the tracks, 'Something On My Mind' and 'Skylarking' and made them hits all over again.

Such was Horace's delivery to the covers he sang like Delroy Wilson's version of the Tams' 'Riding For A Fall', the Heptones' 'My Guiding Star', John Holt's 'Man Next Door' and Bill Withers' 'Ain't No Sunshine', that these fine tunes were made his own. The roots end of his musical style was covered by Andy originals such as 'You Are My Angel', 'Zion Gate', 'Money Money' and the cut which Kingston Sounds have taken their edited title, the timeless 'Just Say Who'. A bass heavy cut to Bob Marley's 'Natural Mystic' works so well in this style also.
