The sixth release from Moll-Selekta presents one of the greatest Jamaican roots singers and songwriters, Barry Brown -- who was famed for the direct and uncompromising lyrics which earned him so much street credibility and the nickname "The Jamaican Bob Dylan." Before digital sound locked on to reggae in the '80s, Barry Brown was already a dancehall star with a proven track record of hits like "Step It Up Youthman," "Politician" and "Put Down Your Guns." He worked with many of the producer greats: Bunny Lee, Joe Gibbs, Sugar Minott and Clement "Coxsone" Dodd from Studio One. The incredibly deep and detailed roots soundbeds come courtesy of some of the finest backing bands of the era. The Aggrovators with Sly & Robbie, Roots Radics, The Revolutionaries and the High Times Players -- the perfect foil for Brown's sharp and dextrous tongue. This release presents Barry Brown in his most creative and potent phase, bringing together for the first time some of his best songs on one album.
