Fred Locks - The System Is A Fraud 7"
SKU: FTR046
Description:
Well
known for hit songs ‘Blackstar Liner’, ‘Vision of Redemption’ or
‘Love and Only Love’, Fred Locks is another golden voice from the
golden years of Jamaican music. For almost 50 years, he brings the
roots reggae to a higher level with conscious and militant songs
deeply rooted into his Twelve Tribes of Israel faith. More than a
great singer, Fred Locks is a gentle soul.
The vibes were instantly right when The 18th Parallel met him,
downtown Kingston, back in 2013, to record ‘The System Is A Fraud'.
In order to stay true to the sound of Fred Locks’ classics, the
Swiss musicians teamed up with legendary Rockers drummer Leroy
“Horsemouth” Wallace to create another classic stepper riddim
especially built for Fred’s vocal style. Finally, Maga Lion and
Brother Wildman from the Emeterians had their touch singing backing
vocals as Creation Steppers would have done back in the days. Dub
on the flip side by the one and only Roberto Sánchez. Sound system
addicts, this one is for you: Roots rockers music paying tribute to
the sound of the late seventies!
‘The System Is A Fraud' is part of the upcoming
18th Parallel album ‘Downtown Sessions' to be released November
18th on Fruits Records.
