We Say...
Like many early reggae artists, Horace Andy got his start recording a series of sides with Coxsone Dodd at Jamaica's famed Studio One. What sets Andy apart from the scores of vocalists who claim a similar starting point is his singular, haunting voice. Even in his earliest singles, Andy's voice has the craggy wobble of an aging prophet, and when it's paired with the shadowy production of dub virtuoso King Tubby, the results are often as eerie as they are engaging. Though he's best known for the ghostly chart-topper "Skylarking," the rest of this compilation easily equals that song's spectral majesty. A somersaulting bass line spikes the otherwise lovely "You Are My Angel" with an odd sense of menace, while Andy's aching cover of Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" handily bests the original.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
