艺人介绍

by Gene ScaramuzzoA T&T brass band that had been popular for many years prior to the emergence of one of their lead singers, David Rudder, as a solo calypsonian in 1986. In that year Rudder won both the Road March and the National Calypso Monarchy crown. In 1988 another Charlies Roots lead singer, Chris Tambu Herbert, began a three-year domination of the Road March as a solo artist. Despite the solo careers of the two, they remain to this day as singers for Charlies Roots, although as of 1988 they began to release albums under their own names, with the band listed as backup artists. Albums are still released occasionally under the groups name. Sire Records reissues Rudders music with Charlies Roots in nice packages that are more easily available than the original Charlies releases. Their tendency to mix songs from different years may confuse those who really wish to familiarize themselves with Rudder as a developing artist.
