Even on 1982's THE CHANTING DREAD: INNA FINE STYLE, where spiritual preoccupations take precedence over social commentary, there's a grittiness and passion which helps put over tracks like "All Nations Bow" and "Who Laughed Last." The album's centerpiece is the three-track Rasta devotional "Jah Jah Shall Guide," "Jah Jah Love Them" and "Jah Jah Golden Jubilee," some of the most powerful and exciting reggae made in the early '80s, a time when '70s style heavy dread and Jah worship was starting to drift out of reggae fashion.
One of the best and most respected DJs to come out of the mean streets of Kingston, Big Youth (Manley Augustus Buchanan) is also one of the clearest links between reggae toasting--of which he's a master--and rap. Big Youth's direct, no-nonsense toasting style and cinema-verite lyrical sense create starkly truthful scenes of Jamaican ghetto life.
Personnel includes: Big Youth (vocals); Earl "Chinna" Smith, Hux Brown, T. Chin, Duggie (guitar); Wire Lindo, Augustus Pablo, Tyrone Downey, U. Malcolm (piano, organ); J. Jackson, G. Fullwood (bass); Carlton "Santa" Davis, S. Martin, Carlton Barrett (drums); Gregory Isaacs, Dennis Brown, The Heptones (background vocals).

Chanting Dread Inna Fine Style
$14.29 
One of the masterpieces of the roots era, no album better defines its time and place than Two Sevens Clash, which encompasses both the religious fervor of its day and the rich sounds of contemporary Jamaica. Avowed Rastafarians, Culture had formed in 1976, and cut two singles before beginning work on their debut album with producers the Mighty Two (aka Joe Gibbs and Errol Thompson). Their second single, "Two Sevens Clash," would title the album and provide its focal point. The song swept across the island like a wildfire, its power fed by the apocalyptic ...

| | Todd Snider East Nashville Skyline CD (2004)
Chanting Dread Inna Fine Style
$13.65
Regardless of any opinions concerning his music, each successive release from singer/songwriter Todd Snider should be looked upon as a precious gift. His continuous battles against various addictions and depression have had him down for the count on several occasions, prompting speculation that his latest release could be his last. Snider is not oblivious to this situation and freely discusses it in East Nashville Skyline's opening ditty, "Age Like Wine." A short summation of his life and career thus far, he recognizes that it's "too late to die young now," and concedes with a sly wink that "I thought that I'd be dead by now...but I'm not." Indeed he could have been, because in early 2004 Snider had a close call that put him in rehab for the third time. Once again he escaped with a little less stomach lining and a head full of songs that are replete with the wry humor, observations, and confessions that have garnered him a loyal fan base. With production and musical assistance from Will Kimbrough (Will & the Bushmen, Bis-Quits), East Nashville Skyline ambles down the same organic folk path that Snider first groomed on 2000's Happy to Be Here. The sparse instrumentation and lo-fi production are a perfect fit for Snider's twangy country-tinged songs that ruminate on politics, death, the places he has been, and the colorful folks he has met. He recounts his mistaken incarceration in the "Tillamook County Jail," pays tribute to a fun-lovin' drinking buddy in "Play a Train Song," and defends the backwoods musical reputation of "Nashville," where there is "nothing wrong with pickin' out in the sticks." More so than his previous discs, Snider has loaded Skyline with his trademark observational songs in which he offers pointed views that rarely sound self-indulgent or preachy. "The Ballad of the Kingsmen" wonders why the religious right and the government are so quick to blame rock music for the ...
