Studio One Rockers Review

Overall Rating

My girlfriend bought Studio One Rockers last year. She is the real reggae expert in the house and she tends to point me in the right direction in terms of my own reggae choices. This is one of the best reggae CDs I have heard and what is really nice about it is that some of the bigger reggae artists are nowhere to be seen on it. It is full of one priceless beauty after another. I'll give you the full track list because that is really important.

1. Sound Dimension - Real Rock
2. Marcia Griffiths - Feel Like Jumping
3. Freddy Mcgregor - Bobby Baylon
4. Horace Andy - Skylarking
5. Lennie Hibbert - Village Soul
6. Brentford All-Stars - Greedy G
7. Johnny Osbourne - Truth And Rights
8. Ernest Ranglin - Surfin'
9. Michigan And Smiley - Eye Of Danger
10. Dawn Penn - No No No
11. The Skatalites - Phoenix City
12. Prince Jazzbo - Crabwalking
13. Jackie Mittoo - Hot Milk
14. Lone Ranger - Badder Dan Dem
15. Cedric Brooks - Ethiopia

It's basically a collection of some of the most legendary Studio One cuts brought together for the first time by Soul Jazz Records. As an introduction to the peak of reggae this cannot be beaten for quality I reckon. My favourite track Horace Andy - Skylarking. Absolutely spellbinding compilation.
