Notes
--------
Yabby You's Overwhelming Debut Album, Conquering Lion, Was A Masterpiece
Of Dread Roots That Set The Standard For The Genre, And One That Certainly
Could Never Be Equalled — Or So It Was Thought Until You's Second
Full-Length Offering, Walls Of Jerusalem (Aka King Tubby Meets Vivian
Jackson). His Third, 1977's Deliver Me From My Enemies, Would, In Any
Other Hands, Be Considered A Classic. Not Quite Up To The Extreme
Scintillating Heights Of Its Predecessors, However, This Album Is
Considered Less Crucial. That Is A Shame, Because It's Really A Stellar
Set. Once Again Consisting Of Bundled-Up Recent Singles, The Album
Includes A Spectacular Title Track. With Lyrics Inspired By The 143Rd
Psalm, It Boasts One Of You's Most Forceful Performances Set To A Suitably
Simmering Rhythm. The Rhythm Of "Judgment Time" Is Devastating; In It, The
Singer Warns Of The Approaching Apocalypse And Prays Fervently For
Sinners' Souls. "Blood Ago Run Down King Street" Is Also Apocalyptic, And
Here You Delivers A Powerful Sermon On The Subject. The Equally Stunning
"Zion Gate" (Aka "Judgment On The Land"), Is A Heart-Felt Repatriation
Song, Boasting A Militant Roots Rockers Rhythm Cut, Although With A
Pastoral Aura. "Pick The Beam Out Of My Eye" Is Virtually A Hymn, A Sweet
Lesson In Righteous Living. The Bleechers' "Pound Gets A Blow" Deals With
More Worldly Concerns, But You Adds New Lyrics To Give His Version A
Decided Religious Spin. "One Love" Is Not The Wailers Classic, But Has A
Similar Unity Message, Which You Twins With Biblical References. Entirely
Outside Of The Cultural Realm Is The Twangy "Lonely Me," Boasting Another
Splendid You Performance, And The Gorgeous Doo Wop-Ish "I Love You," Both
Stellar Numbers Featuring Intriguing Musical Arrangements. There's Not A
Subpar Track Within The Album, So Why Doesn't This Set Get More Respect?
The Reason Is You Had Set His Own Bar So High That He Was Destined To
Eventually Not Quite Clear It. But That Doesn't Make This Album Any Less
Enjoyable For All But The Fussiest Of Fans.
