One of the greatest reggae singers of all time,
Dennis Brown
made an incredible impact during a career that spanned four decades, his reign cut short by his tragically early death from a collapsed lung in 1999, aged just 42. First released in 1995 under the title
Take A Stand
and also known as
Temperature Is Rising
, the album
Love Is So True
was expertly produced by
Anthony Dehaney
, alias
Bunny Gemini
, at the Record Factory studios in Kingston, then home to some of the better dancehall being cut in Jamaica. Along with saxophonist/arranger
Dean Fraser
and the
Fire House Crew
and "Rhythm Twins"
Sly and Robbie
, the featured musicians include the stalwart keyboardist
Ansel Collins
of "Double Barrel" and "Stalag" fame, guitarist
Lascelles Beckford
and bassist
Danny "Axe Man" Thompson
of the
Gifted Roots
band, trumpeter
David Madden
of
Zap Pow
, and keyboardist
Dennis "Jah D" Fearon
. The keen musicianship brought forth by these players helped coax the best out of Brown on songs such as "Never Let Your Heart Be Troubled," which rides a tough re-cut of the "Full Up" rhythm, and "Temperature Is Rising," on a durable re-cut of the "Far East"/"Jah Shakey" rhythm; "A Little Respect" makes use of a bouncing update of "Pressure And Slide," the meditative "Sea Shore" is on a great dancehall cut of "Real Rock" and the anti-rude boy "Gangster" is voiced on a beautiful dancehall interpretation of "Freedom Blues." There's even a dancehall take of the
Beatles
' "You Won't See Me," delivered as only Dennis Brown can, as well as a likeable re-make of Dennis' own "Have You Ever."
