Easy Star
Various Artists - Dancehall Culture Volume Two - Easy Star
Think of Dancehall Culture and certain names spring to mind, Jah Love,
Briggy, Sister Carol, Tony Rebel, Garnett Silk, Luciano. Well only
Luciano out of that little list is present on this set. But sitting
right alongside him are other great names in dancehall culture, like
Half Pint, Tony Tuff, Anthony B, Sister Nancy and Triston Palma. And
they make this a fantastic set, one of the very best releases on the
Easy Star label. Which is setting new standards in current reggae
music. New names are always good to see in the business, and singers
like Minx, Guyanese, Dollarman, and Rob Symeonn hold there own with
some of the best in the business. Recorded in New York and Jamaica at
Ruff Stuff and Anchor with Michael G and Ticklah Axelrod handing all
the instuments with production coming from Michael G - this gets 2002
off to a great start.
