Triston Palmer aka Triston Palma - Joker Smoker LP
SKU: GREL43
Description:
Limited re-issue of the
1982 favourite longplayer! Recorded and mixed at Channel One by
Soldgie with the Roots Radics Band. Triston Palmer aka Triston or Tristan
Palma (born 1962, Waltham Park, Kingston, Jamaica) is a reggae
singer/deejay. He has been active since the mid-1970s.
Palmer was born in 1962 and grew up in the Waltham Park area of
Kingston, and decided from an early age that he wanted to be a
singer. He began by singing to the accompaniment of Soul Syndicate
guitarist Tony Chin. His first recording was "Love Is A Message"
for producer Bunny Lee when he was eight years old, which was
followed by "A-Class Girl" for the Black Solidarity label, which
was co-run by Palmer and Ossie Thomas. He came to the attention of
producer/deejay Jah Thomas, who began a substantial association
with Palmer with the track "Entertainment", when Palmer was aged
around 14.
He made a major breakthrough with his performance in 1979 at the
General Penitentiary Memorial Concert for Claudie Massop, which
also featured Bob Marley. Palmer became a popular artist in the
"singjay" style in the early 1980s. "Entertainment" was a Jamaican
hit and he enjoyed further successes with "Water Bubbling", "Spliff
Tail", "Raving", and "Run Around Woman". Palmer also worked with
Linval Thompson, who produced his Joker Lover and Settle Down Girl
albums, and later George Phang, Tony Robinson, Sugar Minott, Bunny
Gemini, and Castro Brown. At one point in the early 1980s, Palmer
had nine songs in Jamaica's Top 40.
