HEAVYWEIGHT! Fat Man Riddim Section Showcase: Rockers From Jacob Miller & Inner Circle (Reel LXXX)

Описание: A Fat Man Riddim Section Showcase Featuring...
"Touter" Harvey, Dean Fraser, Desi Roots, Devon Irons, Earl Zero, and the man called Jacob Miller... THE KILLER!

Jacob Miller (4 May 1952 – 23 March 1980) was a Jamaican reggae artist. His first recording session was with the producer Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd in the late 1960s. While pursuing a solo career, he became the lead singer for Inner Circle, a Jamaican roots reggae band. Miller recorded and toured with Inner Circle before he died in a car crash in early 1980 at age 27.

The Lewis brothers and company balanced playing the most lightweight Pop Reggae internationally as 'Inner Circle' and the nastiest most hardcore Roots Rockers imaginable as the 'Fatman Riddim Section' for the Jamaican market. We know of bands watering it down later in their careers, but I don't think any other group ever covered both extremes simultaneously as they did during the 2nd half of the 1970's.
This (of course) is a selection of the HEAVYWEIGHT / KILLER side of the story!
