Keith & Tex - Gun Life LP
SKU: LQ175
Description:
Many reggae music historians feel that the rocksteady period of Jamaican music only lasted for a brief period of time from the years 1966 to about 1968. Clearly, they have not been in tune with what the legendary rocksteady duo of Keith & Tex have been up to in this modern era of reggae music. Since reuniting in the late 1990’s, Keith & Tex have released four albums of original material grounded in the solid foundation of the sound called rocksteady, with their newest album, ‘Gun Life’, being number five, following that same traditional path.
During this reformation and reconnection of these longtime childhood friends from Kingston, Jamaica, Keith & Tex have traveled the globe thrilling audiences in the US, Mexico, South America, Japan and across the European continent with their version of modern rocksteady. Their performances are full of mega hits of the 1960’s like 'Stop That Train,' ‘Tonight’, 'Don’t Look Back,' and 'Down The Street,' as well as the new songs they have penned, embrace timeless themes that always play well to audiences young and old.
‘Gun Life' is another collaboration with the highly regarded and proficient producer from Spain, Roberto Sanchez, and his Lone Ark Riddim Force. The band backs Keith & Tex with authentic, bubbly, driving rocksteady riddims freshly created for this project. The music carries the gamut of universal topics of life such as the trials and tribulations of love with songs like 'She’s Gone' and 'Gave You My Heart.' The track 'Give Me One Reason,' where Babylon has taken the resources of Africa under false pretenses -- 'Give me one good reason to trust you...the good book in one hand and a weapon in the other'-- is an example of a song that gives a common theme a new twist.
