Fred Locks - Glorify The Lord - Blacker Dread

The chanting vocal style of Fredlocks the Dreadlocks is one much loved

amongest reggae people - coming as he after the likes of Burning Spear

and Pablo Moses - and with something a little bit different from those

two mighty talents. It was the mid seventies and reggae was in the

grip of its own cultural revolution. Fred Locks should have gone onto

greater things - but a much needed second album never appeared - Fred

- then linked up with the Creation Steppers - once again it seemed

like a good move - but nothing really happened. It wasn't until the

nineties and a connection to Fatis that Fred Locks was back on the

track. A second album for Fatis was released - and then another big

gap until now. And this set produced in fine style by Blacker Dread

continues on that great work. There are not too many ways to produced

some one like Fred Locks - but this is the way - great songs with

powerful multi-textured rhythms. Magnificent.
