King at the Controls album Product Description

King at the Controls album by King Jammy was released Jul 18, 2006 on the VP label. Celebrating the heyday of reggae producer King Jammy, this compilation collects the sound system supremo's pioneering "Under Mi Sleng Teng" rhythm as well as many of his other fruitful collaborations, notably with the veteran singers John Holt, Johnny Osbourne, Leroy Smart, and Dennis Brown. King at the Controls songs Jammy's wholesale adaptation of electronic sounds to reggae rhythms heralded the onset of the now-ubiquitous dancehall rhythm, as well as giving reggae a much needed musical shot in the arm--as can be heard on Osbourne's joyful "Water Pumping," and Admiral Bailey and Chaka Demus's reworking of the venerable "One Scotch" toast. King at the Controls album Jammy's version of "If I Were a Carpenter" highlights and focuses Holt's inimitable voice, while Half Pint's bubbly "Mr. King at the Controls CD music Landlord" is a typical combination of social commentary and irresistible dance rhythms. King at the Controls music CDs This CD/DVD package includes a DVD chronicling his mid-80s era and the creation of Sleng Teng and Punany riddims. Included are present day interviews with King Jammy and many of the supporting cast that helped to create the legend. ...See Full Description

Rub-a-Dub ah dweet!
Reggae fan from birth here. The best of reggae music came from the early 80s to the early to mid 90s and this CD captures the heart of this era and time superbly. To anyone that wants to here reggae/dancehall in its prime, I strongly recommend this album. King Jammy's help set the trend. X amount of respect str8!
