Horace Andy - Say Who LP
SKU: KSLP041
Description:
Horace Andy has always commanded a place high on the list of Reggae
singers from Jamaica. His distinctive haunting vocal style
stands strong on any rhythm, song or style he chooses to
cover. Of the singers on that long list, he has managed more so
than any other, to crossover to a new generation of listeners
due to his individual style, helped also by his collaborations
with the likes of Massive Attack.
Horace Andy (b. Horace Hinds,1951,Kingston Jamaica) like many other
Jamaican singers began his musical career at Coxsonne Dodd’s
Studio One. After numerous singles and two albums worth of
material, Horace moved on to work with many of the top flight
Jamaican producers, among them Keith Hudson, Augustus Pablo
and Niney the Observer, but it was his work with producer Bunny
Lee
in the 70’s that he cut most of his hits for and from this stable
of work, that we have compiled this set. Some of his late 60’s
classics were recut in the popular 1970’s style, working with
the rhythm kings themselves, Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare.
They have added some shine to the tracks, ‘Something On My Mind’
and ‘Skylarking’ and made them hits all over again. Such was
Horace’s delivery to the covers he sang like Delroy Wilson’s
version of the Tams ‘Riding For A Fall’, the Heptones ‘My
Guiding Star’, John Holts ‘Man Next Door’ and Bill Wither’s ‘Ain’t
No Sunshine’, that these fine tunes were made his own. The
roots end of his musical style was covered by Andy originals
such as ‘You Are My Angel’, ’Zion Gate’, ‘Money Money’ and the
cut which we have taken our edited title, the timeless ‘Just Say
Who’. A bass heavy cut to Bob Marley’s ‘Natural Mystic’ works
so well in this style also.
Another nickname Horace acquired was the affectionate title of
Sleepy, as he was always hanging around the yards and studios
of Jamaica waiting his turn, sometimes so long he would fall
asleep. His enthusiasm to get back in the studio to work
some more of his magic, to a catalogue of material that has
developed into one of the finest in Jamaica.
