John Clarke

John Clarke - Rootsy Reggae/Visions Of - Wackies -CD

The Wackies label as produced a number of excellent singer/songwriters

as well of course a tremendous amount of very talented musicians. And

in this massive reissue programs from Rhythm & Sound's Basic Channel

label they have now got to John Clarke. The 'Visions' set is well

known to most Wackies fans, but 'Rootsy Reggae' is more or less a

mystery. Together they form a magnificent set - 22 tracks featuring a

collection of remixes, and overdubs. The songs are just as good,

reality, love and culture. 'Babylon Spanking' is one of best, but

'John Brown' and ' You Like To Borrow' are just as good. Not

forgetting 'Wasn't It You'!!! The only question that really remains is

what happened to John Clarke. How can a major singer/songwriter come

up, make a album/albums like these two and just disappear? If anyone

knows - please let us know!!!
