Little John
Little John - Give The Youth A Try - Live & Learn /Rasslin - CD.
Another great reissue from Delroy Wright's label. Little John vocal
singjay style was popular from day one amongst reggae people, when he
hooked up with Junjo/Delroy the sound that they had been producing
was perfect for him. The mixing on this is great and comes from Bunny
Tom Tom working out of Channel One. Where this 8 track set was also
recorded. The songs go from messages like the title track to sing a
long's like 'The More We Are Together.
Little John - True Confession - Powerhouse
Little John's debut album for Powerhouse is just as impressive as
Barrington's or Michael's albums for the label. He also shares the
honour of having a big hit single 'True Confession' being turned into
just as successful an album. He first recorded as a DJ, but his quick
change to singjaying brought him even more success. Like all the best
singers once you've heard Little John, you could never get him
confused with anyone else. That appeal plus these ever so crisp
Powerhouse rhythms make this album essential.
Little John - Best Of - RM - 1985
When it comes to various styles in reggae music, there are certain
artists who just define a style perfectly. One suchartist is Little
John. The man was probably born in a dance hall, learned to skank
before he could walk and learned to sing before he could talk. This
latest work from the man is called 'The Best Of Little John&. Well
such outrageous titles are common place on reggae sleeves. Everyone
knows that, but this time it's true! This C.Chin and G.Douglas
production is a stinger. Many thanks to General Lee.
Little John - Clarks Booty - Live & Love
Little John's progress of late as been very pleasing to listen too.
With no promotion except for his work on various sound systems,
where's he's always one of the most consistent performers, he's slowly
established himself. On this LP for Jammy he rides one dance hall
rhythm after the other with ease, and he always sounds fresh. With a
selection of lyrics that have something to say about most aspects of
life. Including 'Give Me No Bun' a inspired plea for more natural/Ital
found over a wild steel pan lead rhyhtm.
