Keith & Tex - Redux LP
SKU: SBR054 OverviewDescription:
It all began in the 1960s when two youths met in the Washington
Gardens area of Saint Andrew Parish, a Kingston suburb, where they
discovered a common passion for music and especially for the music
of post-independence Jamaica. Keith Rowe and Texas Dixon quickly
put together that magical combination of guitar and piano and two
exceptional voices that would catapult them to fame. After failed
auditions for Prince Buster, Studio 1 and Duke Reid they met
Derrick Harriott who spotted their talent and provided the
opportunity they needed. From this meeting flowed the rich vein of
singles that made Keith and Texs rocksteady rep. As the sharp
rhythms of ska simmered down and rocksteady emerged, the duo came
into their own with a series of self-penned 7"s. But it was a cover
that gave them their 1967 international smash: the Spanishtonians
ska hit Stop That Train. The relationship ended in 1970, leaving a
short but sweet selection.
