Tapper Zukie - Man Ah Warrior LP
SKU: LANR027
Description:
The epic Tapper Zukie's first album,
originally released in 1973, is back again, supervised by original
producer Clement Bushay! Zukie
never expected these cuts to turn into an album, and was quite
startled to discover this record in the London shops when he came
to town in the spring of 1975. After 50 years “Man Ah Warrior” is
still a lively and unique collection. The bassline and trademark
guitar sound from The Temptations’ “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” is
instantly recognizable in the title track with the riddim featuring
just drum, bass, and riffing guitar. “I King Zukie” is a big tune,
an interplay between the soulful vocal of “I Dont Know Why I Love
You” (originally done by Stevie Wonder) and Tapper Zukie’s
toasting. All in all a series of remarkable tunes such as the
wicked “Viego”, the hypnotic “Cally Dolly” and “Zukie Fashionwear”
with a big trombone and at the beginning Willie Williams (although
Delroy Wilson is mentioned in the song) singing lines from the
Temptations song “Get Ready”.
