Excellent History of King Jammy and 1980's Dancehall,
By
This review is from: King Jammy's (Paperback)
I bought this book solely on the title alone while I was just browsing on Amazon for Reggae books. If your into mid 1980's reggae artists and King Jammys then this book is for you.I was impressed on the individual stories and pictures on Half Pint, Tenor Saw and many other artists in that era. I'd say there was a picture of some artist on every other page. This book focused on King Jammy's early start in reggae/dub to modern dancehall and soundclashes as well the singers/DJs that he worked with. I was very pleased to read the section on how "Sleng-Teng" riddim ruled the dance and revolutionized dancehall. If time permitted I would have read this book straight through. This is definitely a reggae collector's item to have with your crates of vinyl. Now I have to find a excellent book like this one but about Henry 'junjo' Lawes. |
