The Ethiopians - Freedom Train LP
SKU: KSLP043
Description:
The Ethiopians are one of the great vocal groups to come out of
Jamaica. Singing songs of life and times as they found them,
themes that resonated with the people of the Island that made
them such a treasured group.
Lenard Dillon, the founding member of the Ethiopians began his
singing career at Clement ‘Coxonne’ Dodd’s Studio
One. Initially he recorded under the name of Jack Sparrow, and
backed by the Wailers, cutting ‘Ice Water’ and ‘Suffering In
The Land’. Under The Wailers encouragement, he went on to form
his own vocal group. Recruiting singers Stephan Taylor and Aston
‘Charlie’ Morris to become The Ethiopians.
This release includes songs from the ‘Slave Call’ album alongside
some of the bands early hits, including the original
version of ‘Train To Skaville’, ‘Engine 54’, the great and
poignant ‘Everything Crash’, ‘Reggae Hit The Town’ and ‘The
Selah’. An interesting set to remind us what a great group the
Ethiopians really were.
