CD Reviews

Toastin' inna Niney Stylee
T. Brown | Long Beach, CA USA | 06/24/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Blood & Fire has done it again. The best reggae label out there has put together another crucial selection of 70's DJ tracks. Classic works by U Roy, Big Youth and Dillinger, with a cut from one of my personal faves Trinity. However, the star of the show is the late great I Roy. I was a big fan of his work before, but he is simply dazzling on every track here. It helps that he's toasting over some Niney's greatest riddims and mind-bending dubs of the era ("Wolves & Leopards" by Dennis Brown, "Paymaster" by Gregory Isaacs, "Weeping" by Jr. Byles), but I Roy's versatility is unmatched and really shines through. From Rasta themes to early slackness stylee, he is head and shoulders above the rest. Overall, this is a great package (great liner notes, as always, by Steve Barrow), right up there with Blood & Fire's "If Deejay Was Your Trade". Fantastic sound quality. Blood & Fire is the simply best at restoring old cuts to their original glory. Highly recommended for those who wish to immerse themselves in reggae's Golden Era."
