5.0 out of 5 stars
Neglected gem, March 20, 2004
This review is from: Riding the Musical Chariot (Audio CD)
Riding the Musical Chariot is an early but excellent Heartbeat rock steady compilation. Derrick Harriott is not as well known as superstar Jamaican producers Duke Reid of Treasure Island or Coxsone Dodd of Studio One but his work was first rate. Harriott takes lead vocal on two of the tracks here but the real gems are the four tracks he produced for the the unjustly neglected duo of Keith and Tex. CD also contains two very good songs by the Ethiopians and some hard to find material by the Kingstonians. Harriott's crack studio band - the Crystalites - contributes some sizzling instrumentals as well. Fans of the golden era of rock steady will love this music.
