专辑介绍

by Rick Anderson

Long hailed as the originator of the &dee jay& or &toasting& style of reggae sprechgesang that took Jamaica's dancehalls by storm in the early 1970s and led directly to the development of American hip hop, &Daddy& U-Roy is revered in the reggae world and has enjoyed a resurgence of popularity in recent years. This new album, which marks approximately twenty years of recording for U-Roy, shows him incorporating a greater than usual musical variety into his work; he even sings rather than toasts on several cuts. On tunes like &False Prophecy& and &Birds of a Feather,& he alternates between singing and chatting without sacrificing any of the songs' straightforward, didactic power; on others he toasts in the straight-ahead style that has made him famous and influenced an entire generation of deejays. Credit is due to the Mad Professor, whose crystalline production shows off U-Roy's voice to best advantage, even if the instrumental tracks get a bit sterile from time to time.
