Review: Jamaican reggae legend Errol Dunkley celebrates nearly six decades of music with his new studio album, OK Fred - Best Of. This collection highlights Dunkley's enduring legacy and the rich heritage of Jamaican reggae. The album features fresh takes on his iconic hits such as 'OK Fred' and 'Black Cinderella' alongside beloved tracks penned by reggae greats such as Bob Marley and Toots Hibbert. With its mix of classic and cherished tunes, this release honours Dunkley's influential career and showcases what a timeless sound he has always had.
Review: US dub crew Park Heights has got a real gem on their hands here with this latest 7". It is a killer jam from the mid-1980s that was made at Aquarius Studio. The 'live digital' tune has never before been released which is a wrong that is rightly corrected here and is even more special as it has Errol Dunkley on the rhythm even though it is not his usual style. It is a heavy stepper with loopy drums and hits that echo off to infinity as he drops his loved-up vocals over the. It of course comes with a superb dub on the flip.
Review: Common Ground International cast it back to 1977 here for one of Errol Dunkley's more standout cuts. The Kingston-born reggae musician put out an impressive 14 albums from the seventies up to the turn of the new millennium and made some 450 appearances on various other projects. 'A Little Way Different' is a mid-tempo tumbler with drums and bass perfectly bedded in together beneath fat trombone sounds and tick-tick guitar riffs. His vocals bring real yearning, and they also do on the flipside gem 'I'm Not The Man For You.'
