"Inspired by the legendary Jamaican DJ, U-Roy, Huford Brown began his career DJing on the Silver Bullet Sound System in the early-'70s. Dubbing himself U-Brown, his impassioned, half-rapped vocals bore an uncanny resemblance to his hero. In 1976 he scored a hit with 'Starsky and Hutch,' which led to a series of albums produced by Bunny Lee."

The compilation you hold in your hands features the best of U Brown's 1983 release Jam It Tonight, cut at Channel One with the Roots Radics, coupled with enthralling earlier singles laid at Channel with the Revolutionaries. The high points are many in this thoroughly agreeable set that showcases the best of peak-period U Brown; beginning with the devotional "Jah Is My Father Still" and "Walk With Jah Love" from Jam It Tonight, the title track speaks of reggae music's unstoppable nature and "Reggae Gone International" is a celebratory take of the "Pick A Dub" rhythm, here totally reconfigured. "Rub A Dub All The Time" (aka "Tu Sheng Peng") is a killer take of the Dennis Brown song of the same name, while "Blow Mr Hornsman Blow" is an awesome reworking of the "Take Five" rhythm, and "Come Along" a beautiful deejay counterpart to Sugar Minott's "Steal Away Girl." U Brown has since gone on to enjoy all kinds of musical adventures in the UK, USA, and Europe, where he settled in the 1990s; listen to the artistry on No Stoppin' This Music and marvel at his enduring talents.
