Barry Brown - Love And Protection LP
SKU: RR00388
Description:
During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Barry Brown was one of the
handful of upcoming artists that came to define the emerging
dancehall style as a singer with a distinctive high tenor that was
instantly recognizable, and one which inevitably made a lasting
impression on the listener. His lyrics were witty, gritty, and full
of gusto, typically addressing the trials and tribulations facing
the underprivileged, but also celebrating the positive aspects of
ghetto life, including the irresistible lure of the local sound
systems, the need to enjoy a loving relationship with a woman, and
the various other joys one may encounter along the way.
Most of the work on Love & Protection, an intriguing
compilation that surfaced in the mid-1990s, brings us back to Barry
Brown's peak period as heard on the Cool Pon Your Corner and Far
East LPs, along with the original unembellished mixes of two EPs
released by Black Roots, as well as some harder to trace material,
such as the vibrant digital title track. Running the gauntlet from
'reality' tunes to dance numbers to songs of loving romance and
everything in between, it ultimately emphasizes Barry Brown's
impressive versatility, highlighting the important role he played
in the shift from roots to dancehall.
