Jimmy London – A Little Love – Above Rock
Randy's recording studio was beloved by so many producers, that it seems very little self production took place there. And reggae music is poorer for that.
This album was only the second album from the studio, The first was Augustus Pablo's 'This Is'.
Originally released as 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' on Trojan its also Jimmy London's debut album. This magnificent work is expanded out to 17 tracks.
Jimmy's vocal style is so pure its perfect for these simple rock steady/roots rhythms. For that is what Randy's had created.
All they needed was a good song – Jimmy seemed to like the Everly Brothers – and the rest was a masterclass in how to produce! Everything as got its place – and knows its place!
Great tunes likes 'A Little Love', 'A Bridge Over Troubled Water' all end up sounding like they originated in Jamaica! That is the kind of album it is! Very few producers have two classic sets to there name but Clive Chin does. Time to release the Rico, the Carl Malcolm and the Gladiators – Clive!!!!
