Notes
--------
New on Wackies!! Taking its name from Jezreel, the Biblical city founded by the
tribe of Issachar, where God is said to have cursed Ahab for his greed, this
singing duo's debut Wackies album is steeped in rasta spirituality. Clive Davis
and Christopher Harvey step forward from the backing line — on innumerable Sugar
Minott sessions for example — and into the company of the great JA vocal combos
of the late seventies: as at home with Viceroys-style harmonies as with
traditional Impressions- and doowop-derived flourishes; as comfortable riding
Channel One-style steppers as with more laid-back, lovers grooves. Dug in behind
them is drummer Jah Scotty's New Breed Band — also known as the Reckless Breed —
falling between the Sylvester Brothers and Itopia as Wackies in-house crew.
Included in the lineup this time are two of Lloyd Barnes' sons, Bob and Shaan.
Appearing as Reggae Jerry, guitarist Jerry Harris is on top form, and as Jerry
Hitster he contributes some startling keyboards (alongside Sylvesters' old-boy
Roy Robertson), not least in the opening bars. Most of the rhythms are one-offs,
though Roman Soldiers is the militant first outing of Natures Dub, and Living In
The Ghetto is KickingScott from the same album. (On top, the sleeve features
vintage reggae typesetting by Leslie A Moore, LAM Graphics Int.) This is a
showcase LP, with all tracks extending into inventive dubs. Arrangements are by
Lloyd Barnes and Jah Hamma, aka Prince Douglas, who also work the mixing desk.
