The fourth and final volume in the African Dub All-Mighty series was originally released in 1979, and like the previous three discs it features rhythm tracks laid down by such famous session men as Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare, Lloyd Parks, and Franklin "Bubblers" Waul, most of whom were already known as members of the Revolutionaries and the We the People band, but who recorded at Joe Gibbs' studio as the Professionals. Errol Thompson ran the board for all four collections of dub mixes, and while this fourth installment isn't quite as inspired as the third, it's also a bit more interesting and adventurous than the first. Some of these mixes are two or three times removed from the vocal tracks that were originally released -- "Iron Gate," for example, is a dub mix of a recut (by Althea & Donna) of the Heptones' proto-slack rocksteady classic "Fattie Fattie"; "Fashion One" is a remix of Dennis Brown's remake of Alton Ellis' 1960s classic "Girl I've Got a Date." Everything here is worth a listen, though "Power Pack" (based on the instrumental "Drum Song" by Sound Dimension) is a bit tedious and would have benefited from a more aggressive dub treatment. Recommended overall. ~ Rick Anderson

| | Michelle Avery Waiting CD (2005)
African Dub, Chapter 4 music CDs
$10.15 *Michelle Avery* is a captivating new arrival on the Nashville music scene. Her folk-rock debut _The Waiting_ unveils a serious, insightful singer/songwriter who has emerged from her own struggle to become a voice of truth. bq. "As humans, we're all there, and yet not there, in the process of believing," Avery says. "I want to give voice to people who are, like me, not there yet, but on the road." A self-established artist, Avery taught herself guitar and piano during her high school years in Colorado and began to sing and play as part of her church worship team. Soon after, she started writing songs on both instruments and discovered a gift for melding soul and art. Initially rooted in CCM, Avery later wove threads of inspiration from songstresses Patty Griffin, Jonatha Brooke, Over the Rhine and Tori Amos into her own unique artistry. In college, songwriting became a cathartic force as Avery sorted through painful memories. "It just poured out of me when I was experiencing a lot of suffering. That's when I started experiencing healing, as I told my story and was honest about where I'd been," she explains. Due to her own intimate encounter with music, she believes in its intuitive healing power. "It's another form of prayer. I don't have to use the part of my brain that is so consumed with perfectionism and intellectualism, but I can just let go." Avery's journey then led her to Nashville to attend Belmont University, where her songwriting continued to blossom. In the summer of 2004, she entered the studio to record The Waiting, a process she calls "breaking and healing." Produced by Matthew Perryman Jones and engineered by Josh Davis, the record was mastered by Al Willis and features the musicianship of Paul Moak (electric guitar), Chris Weigal (bass), Jeff Pardo (keyboards), Justin Meeks (drums), and Emily DeLoach (background vocals). On the record, Avery sings of familiar things: love for Colorado, cringing before life's blows, the restorative quality of tears and a continued striving to understand and experience love. Perhaps that is what makes this record just so convincing, so thoughtful. Each song taps into the heart of a human experience and softens the raw edges with hope. Avery's sensitive lyricism whispers to listeners that whatever their situation, whatever they are dealing with at the time, it's okay to feel the way that they do. "I have believed that I am not allowed to have ...
| | Ken Bari Murray Koitori CD (2006)
African Dub, Chapter 4 songs
$16.45 KEN MURRAYKen has three independently-produced CDs (Away From Home, Koitori, and Now And Then), which were released in 2005. As early as the 70’s, he was doing cabaret slots in variety shows and loft parties. As a founder/composer of the influential group, the Leftovers, he guided that group of Americans and West Indians into new territory, which blended the rhythms of the Caribbean with the melodies and harmonies of rock to create a pleasing multi-cultural sound, which he continues to draw on to this day Following the stint with the Leftovers, Ken managed an after-hours club in Park Slope, Brooklyn, named after the doomed city in Jamaica, Port Royal. Subsequently, he has continued to perform at venues on both coasts and in Hawaii. As an independent performer, Ken has currently been doing “house concerts,” which have proven to provide a nice fit for his style of music. “ I’m back in Jamaica now and still do some of the tunes that “Kentucky” (another nickname) wrote for the Leftovers. We laid down the bottom, he did the rest.” Harold Dixon-bass/Leftovers. “ I cannot believe what I am hearing! The song, Thank You, Dorothy Parker, for example, is written with the same self-mockery that Parker herself employed in her poetry and the Blues progression that is the foundation of the song would have been familiar to somebody sitting at the Algonquin Roundtable on 44th ST. during the Roaring 20s.These songs are rich!” Marcie Gordon of ...
