The Congos
This one's for the folks who've been voting on my poll, and wanna see more reggae posts. Hope you dig!
This album, "Heart Of The Congos" by The Congos, is an amazing roots reggae vocal album from 1977, one of my favourite years in music. ;) This particular re-release came out in 1996 on the Blood & Fire label, and added a 2nd cd consisting of 5 bonus b-sides and remixes.
How can you go wrong with a cast of performers like this:
Mixing Engineer & Producer : Lee Perry
Vocals : The Congos & Cedric Myton & Congo Ashanti Roy
Backing Vocals : The Meditations & Watty Burnett & Gregory Isaacs & Earl Morgan & Barry Llewellyn & Candy McKenzie
Drums : Sly Dunbar & Mikey Boo Richards & Paul Douglas
Bass : Boris Gardiner & Geoffrey Chung
Rhythm Guitar : Robert Johnson
Lead Guitar : Ernest Ranglin
Piano : Keith Sterling
Organ : Winston Wright
Percussions : Lee Perry & Skully & Sticky
Craaaaazy good reggae. One of my all-time favourites for sure. Enjoy!
