Ken Boothe
Ken Boothe - A Man And His Hits - Heartbeat - CD.
Ken Boothe's is a great singer/ songwriter. The bulk of his greatest
hits however were scattered over singles and album releases that did
the man no credit at all. Thankfully and at long last Heartbeat have
sorted this problem out in one go with this superb release. This set
coming from Studio One is full of some Ken Boothe's finest moment
including 'Moving Away'. 'You're No Good' , ' The Train Is Coming' and
of course 'Artibella' with Stranger Cole. Excellent.
Ken Boothe - Let's Get It On - Trojan - 1974
Although having worked with countless producers including a long spell
at Studio One, this album produced by Lloyd Charmers still remains the
most overall consistantly good album from Ken Boothe. In that here you
will find good songs, some fantastic arrangements and thoughtful
production. Coming out just before his huge hit 'Everything I Own' -
the sound is very much the great early seventies session band The Now
Generation band working out of the Federal Studios.
