Willi Williams - Glory To The King LP
SKU: ARKLP010
Description:
Willi Williams’
reflective, gentle vocal style, which owes as much to soul and jazz
styles as to roots, is fully displayed on this subtle new album. It
is that unique singing that strongly appeals to all roots reggae
fans. And, whenever Roberto Sánchez and the Lone Ark Riddim Force
are involved in a project, it’s a real pleasure to hear reggae
music that recalls very fond memories of a time when it was a
deeply inspired and startlingly original
form. Willi Williams
long-awaited “Glory To The King”, with its six vocal cuts and six
instrumentals with a lead musician coming to the fore, is no
exception.
Instead of adding dub
versions to Willi Williams’ vocal cuts, what’s usually done, they
are now accompanied by instrumentals with each time a different
musician being the lead instrumentalist. This turns out to be an
appealing concept with some noteworthy material to
fuljoy. Ras Telford nicely plays
the melodica on “The Nansa Heritage” and “Glory To Him”, while Bass
Lee, who recently released his album “Inna One Drop Style –
Melodica Showcase”, does the same on the gorgeous “Deep Within”.
Junior G takes the lead with his trombone on two instrumental gems,
“Iration” and “Blow Your Horn”. An also the organ as lead
instrument, played by Booker Gee on “Faith”, is present
here.
