Audley Rollens - Just For You - Moodisc

Well if you are going to start revoice-ing old rhythms - the best

place to start is with those who some of the best rhythms around - and

Harry Mudie back in the early seventies cut some of the most toughest

and roughest rhythms ever to come out of Jamaica - then he added

strings - something that mainly only worked from time to time in

reggae - but Harry - got it right from the start, and kept it up. It

seems that his string arrangements were added in Jamaica by Johnny

Black? And its those string arrangements that make this album what it

is. Although you need someone with a strong voice and a great

songwriting skill to keep the standard up - Audley's thankfully as got

both.and when he does go for a cover version its sung with real

conviction so it doesn't sound like a cover at all. His Wackies 'Role

Model' Wackies 'Role Model' album set is a classic, never mind all the

great singles.
