| | Marcia Griffiths Reggae Anthology: Melody Life CD Marcia Griffiths Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
As one of the premier female reggae vocalists from the 1960s on, Marcia Griffiths has blazed an indelible and lengthy musical trail. REGGAE ANTHOLOGY: MELODY LIFE is a comprehensive collection of Griffiths's work, covering everything from her early Studio One recordings with legendary producer Coxsone Dodd to more contemporary cuts that find her collaborating with dancehall stars Bounty Killer and Buju Banton. Listening to Griffiths taking on a straight-up R&B ballad alongside Bob Marley (whom she also backed as part of the I-Threes) and then hearing her leap into her '80s smash, "Electric Boogie," it becomes apparent that the Jamaican songbird's flexibility is as much a constant as her sweet, smooth singing style.

Reggae Anthology: Melody Life CD music
$12.19 
Digitally remastered by Kevin Reeves (February 1994, Tower Mastering, Hollywood, California).
For all but the completists, this anthology should more than suffice as an apt compact-disc retrospective of Canned Heat's releases on Liberty Records. To that end, it's a more or less chronological overview of the combo's LPs, commencing with a trio of tunes from a spring 1967 studio session that predates their self-titled debut (1967). Primary is an extended, seven-plus-minute "On the Road Again," losing the trippy pretensions of the more popular version. Rather, it churns and steadily burns throughout, displaying Canned Heat's primordial boogie-fused R&B delivery. The remainder of disc one focuses on the aforementioned Canned Heat (1967), the follow-up Boogie With Canned Heat (1968), and a half-dozen previously unreleased sides, this time from the fall of 1967 with a slightly different lineup that included Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson (guitar/vocals), Larry "The Mole" Taylor (bass), Henry "Sunflower" Vestine (guitar), and Bob "The Bear" Hite (vocals). Frank Cook (drums), who had contributed to the band's first effort, was replaced by Adolfo "Fido" de la Parra (drums). It is this aggregate that is considered ...
